Ottawa Now - 'It's very hard to implement': Do Canadians want mandatory voting?

March 26, 2026

This weekend’s high-stakes NDP Convention in Winnipeg is set to define the party’s future, as a new leader will be selected over the coming days. The Toronto Star reports, among 70 proposals, is a bold but unlikely push for mandatory federal voting. Other key debates include overhauling the Senate, electoral reform, and navigating trade tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump. Joining us to talk about mandatory voting, and his past research on the subject, is Research Co. President Mario Canseco.
