B.C. Green Party Leader Hopeful Makes Okanagan Stops
Emily Lowan, a climate activist, has expanded the B.C. Green Party's youth membership from 100 to over 1,800 in five weeks during her leadership campaign.
- B.C.'s Green party is in the process of confirming the eligibility of numerous recently registered supporters who plan to participate in the leadership election set for September 13, 2024.
- This verification follows a surge of more than 4,000 new signups, including about 1,500 youth allowed free membership, prompting concerns about election integrity.
- The party uses online tools, including photo ID verification via Vaultie and video calls, but only 20% of new members have completed the process amid reported technical issues.
- Adam Bremner-Akins stated that their members view the procedure as both impartial and necessary to defend against significant threats posed by foreign interference.
- The verification system aims to ensure only real B.C. residents vote, but critics warn its complexity could suppress turnout and affect the leadership contest outcome on September 24.
