Citizen round table

Summary

The Citizen round table is a space for discussion that aims to encourage citizen participation and to fuel our thinking on electoral matters. The members, 12 citizens from all walks of life, are responsible for giving opinions to the Chief Electoral Officer and the Officer’s teams.

In this section

Introduction

  • Advisory committee created in 2017 with three terms under its belt
  • Twelve members from various backgrounds and regions
  • Constructive and respectful discussions, reflections and exchanges, held behind closed doors
  • Approximately two meetings per year at our offices in Québec City (some meetings may be held by videoconference)
  • A few opinions gathered on an ad hoc basis, two to three times a year, by email
  • Two-year term, renewable once
  • Allowance of $325 for full-day meetings and hourly compensation for ad hoc consultations
  • Travel expenses reimbursed, regardless of region of origin

Rules and code of conduct

Consult the Citizen round table’s operating rules and code of conduct to know more.

Benefits

Élections Québec receives the opinions of the members of the round table with interest and an open mind. These opinions inform the institution’s work.

Some reflections from the members of the 2023–2025 Citizen round table were published in the report Pour une nouvelle vision de la Loi électorale (PDF – in French), which proposes legislative changes and improvements to the election processes. It was a nice recognition for the members.

We post the meeting minutes on our website while ensuring the anonymity of the members. We also report on the work done by the Citizen round table in our annual management report (in French), which we table in the Assemblée nationale du Québec.
