A Considered Public Voice on Brexit: The Report of the Citizens' Assembly on Brexit

Abstract

Table 2.1.Stratification criteria in citizens' assemblies Key: 'Stage 1/2' indicates that stratification was applied to the people initially invited to express an interest in taking part (Stage 1) or to those, from among the people who had expressed an interest, who were invited to the next stage of the selection process (Stage 2).See section 2.2 for details of these processes.'Final' means that stratification was applied to the final membership of the assembly itself.* No quotas for ethnic groups were applied.When it was found, however, that no one had been selected with strong ties to the First Nations, two additional members from these communities were added.** No age quotas were applied, but a check was conducted after the first stage of the recruitment process to ensure that those who had responded positively to the invitation to participate reflected the age distribution of the population.*** There were no ethnic quotas, but there was a requirement that at least one member should be from the First Nations.
