One Day Voting Initiative Petition - IP-2021-001
The name of this legislative petition is: Initiative to change the voting opportunities in provincial elections.

The petition is described on the Current Initiative Petitions page of the Elections BC website along with the Public Notice which can be seen here.

There are 4 + 2 = 6 canvassers registered by Elections BC for signature gathering from folks
  • who prefer every voter (except an absentee one) to inform his or her choice from equal exposure to all election campaign dynamics before he or she casts a ballot in-person at the Election Day neighbourhood event
  • over those who feel the convenience of at-home vote-by-mail and advance polls are totally without nefarious consequences.

Names and ridings of the 6 canvassers are shown on the Social Mavrik list.
Watching Brief - Policing Petition - IP-2021-002
The name of the second legislative petition in 2021 is: Initiative to conduct a Surrey policing binding referendum.

The petition is described on the Current Initiative Petitions page of the Elections BC website.

At the time of writing 407 + 12 = 419 canvassers are registered for signature gathering from folks who prefer national policing over local policing.
