Saanich has launched a new council voting dashboard tool to improve public transparency and accessibility. The tool provides a visual and user-friendly way for residents to track how councillors vote on specific issues at council meetings.
Previously available but difficult to navigate, council voting information is now presented in a simpler format, making it easier for residents – including those with disabilities or those whose first language is not English – to follow local decision-making.
Saanich is among the first municipalities in B.C. to introduce such a tool. It updates automatically after a two-day review period and is part of broader efforts to improve digital access to council information.
The dashboard can be accessed at saanich.ca/agendas and is best viewed on a desktop or laptop.
