Elections Saskatchewan's values are:
-
To be independent and non-partisan
ensuring public confidence in the independence of the Office and its
activities by treating all stakeholders equally and without preference.
-
To have integrity making certain that
every decision and every action enhances the democratic rights of all
electors by interpreting and applying policy and legislation fairly and
consistently.
-
To be open and transparent in all
activities through consistency of action, regular and public reporting,
broad communications and information sharing between and during
electoral events.
-
To be accountable to electors and the
members of the Legislative Assembly through statutory reporting of
activity and performance against published standards and open discussion
of the legislative and regulatory framework for electoral events and
election finances.
-
To be efficient in designing processes
and ensuring financial accountability through the development,
management and deployment of up-to-date and cost-effective technology,
processes, access channels and tools that encourage maximum
participation and facilitate maximum compliance with financial reporting
obligations.
-
To be effective in electoral event
delivery procedures and operations reducing barriers to compliance,
participation and access to the process for electors, candidates and
parties, ensuring that workers are well prepared, processes are well
designed and measurement systems are in place.
-
To be innovative, creative and flexible
in delivering the present and preparing for the future looking broadly
for opportunities and partnerships while considering electoral process
needs and adopting optimal solutions.
-
To be consultative with all our
stakeholders using advisory committees to evaluate legislative,
regulatory and operational frameworks to ensure that they are current
and relevant, regularly reviewing all stakeholder perspectives and
needs, and by sharing evaluations of Elections Saskatchewan's
performance.
-
To be professional in all our
activities by bringing to Saskatchewan the best practices of electoral
administrators across Canada and in democracies across the world.
-
To create a cooperative working
environment and encourage all members of the election team to work
together and to work with their stakeholders and partners to better
serve the electorate of Saskatchewan.
Everything that Elections Saskatchewan does will be guided by these values.
