The Civil Society Electoral Reform Panel (CSERP) has made a written submission to Parliament’s Electoral Reform Consultation Panel. Parliament must use this opportunity to consider electoral reform that enhances transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and fairness. Our submission highlights specific deficiencies and flaws with the current system that ultimately erode democracy.
CSERP is made up of representatives from NGOs and social movements representing young and working-class people advocating for greater government accountability and transparency. We are embarking on a people-led process towards making recommendations for electoral reform.
We recognise that we have been at this point before. If there are ways that our political system can better serve the people and our democracy, we cannot afford for this to be another wasted opportunity.
