Graphic titled “2025 Global Social Progress Index.” Text explains the index measures 57 drivers of social and environmental progress across 170 countries. A ranked list shows the top 10: Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Ireland, and Germany. Next to each country it says “proportional” under the column “Voting system.” At the bottom, text notes “Canada ranks 18.”

The top 10 countries in the 2025 Global Social Progress Index all use proportional representation.

When every vote counts, societies thrive.

Higher Than Usual Number of Candidates on Ballot in Battle River–Crowfoot By-election News Release GATINEAU, Monday, July 28, 2025 As a result of the high number of candidates in Battle River–Crowfoot (Alberta), electors voting at advance or election day polls will vote using an adapted ballot. The adapted ballot will feature a blank space where electors can write the name of their preferred candidate. This will replace the typical list-style ballot, on which electors mark a blank circle next to the name of the candidate of their choice. For their vote to be counted, electors must write the name of their candidate of choice. As long as the elector's intention is clear, their vote will be counted, even if they misspell the candidate's name. Along with the candidate's name, electors can also write the name of the candidate's political party. But if the elector writes only the party's name, their ballot cannot be counted—it must have the name of the elector's preferred candidate. The list of candidates will be available at every voting table so that electors can find the name of their candidate of choice. The adapted write-in ballot will feature the same security and integrity measures found on a typical ballot. Elections Canada is aware that the changes to the ballot may reduce its accessibility for some electors. All regular accessibility tools will still be available, but some of them, such as the braille list of candidates and adapted braille voting template, will only be available on election day (Monday, August 18). Anyone who has concerns can contact the Elections Canada office in Battle River–Crowfoot to find out what options and accessibility supports are available to them. Electors who need support when voting are welcome to bring a friend, family member or caregiver to assist them, including helping them to complete their ballot. Election workers, who are sworn to maintain the secrecy of the vote, are also available to help. …

There are 200+ independent candidates now registered for the byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is running.

So Elections Canada has now decided to just have people write in the name of the person they want to vote for, instead of marking an 'X' on a list.

Toronto: Votes were 58% red, 33.9% blue, 6.4% orange, 0.7% yellow. Representation was 95.8% red, 4.2% blue. Metro Vancouver: Votes were 49.5% red, 38.6% blue, 10.8% orange, 1.1% yellow. Representation was 73.9% red, 17.4% blue, 8.7% orange. Ottawa: Votes were 62.2% red, 30.9% blue, 5.8% orange, 1.1% yellow. Representation was 100% red. Montreal: Votes were 63% red, 19.2% blue, 11.3% light blue, 6.4% orange, 0.1% yellow. Representation was 88.9% red, 5.6% light blue, 5.6% orange.

Free advice for Pierre Poilievre:

Instead of complaining about long ballots, fight for electoral justice.

In major cities, hundreds of thousands voted Conservative and got no representation.

That's the real problem. We need proportional representation.
