One of my favourites as well.
At least locally we have fixed election days; which I would like to see provincially.
I know there have been some recent changes to municipal elections regarding financing of campaigns. There is now a $5000.00 limit (per individual contributor). It also sounds like there will also be some disclosure of contributiors, but I haven't been able to find verification.
I think we need to address the "campaign period". Currently (municipal) candidates can raise funds during the 3 years leading up to the election. I would prefer to see a shorter, fixed period.
