Information about this site
I am from Elections Canada. I was brought in to create a website to educate Canadians about the procedures and the great importance of Canadian citizens casting their votes. I am trying to encourage larger voter turnout, by directing this website to young adults, who have historically voted at a disproportionately lower rate than Canadians in general.
Young people that are 20 years old are sometimes having the opportunity to vote for the very first time in their life, because elections only come every 3-4 years, on average. Since young people have never voted before, they don't normally see the importance of it, nor do most understand how and where to vote. A lot of people, and not just young ones, don't always know who to vote for, how to become informed about candidates, parties and issues. They also don't know how to recognize main points of view and bases in material provided by political parties, but this website will help inform you of all of these things.
