The election’s coming up, and it’s really frickin’ important that you vote. I know there’s a lot of talk about the American election already, but I wanted to make sure my fellow Canadians know what to do when October 19th rolls around.
Registering to Vote
Don’t know if you’re registered? Check here.
Student and/or first-time voter?
Pretty much any question you have about the actual process of voting can be answered by Elections Canada’s website.
Who Do I Vote For?
These should give you a nice start in deciding which party you might want to align yourself with. I also suggest checking out each party’s website for more information on their platforms, if you have the time.
Party Platforms/Websites
It’s super important that you get out and vote on MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH (or in advanced polls starting on the 9th), especially if you’re a young voter. In 2011, only 38.8% of 18-24 year olds voted, compared to 75.1% of 65-74 year olds. Tumblr, that’s your demographic that needs to step up. I encourage you to do your research, and make a little time to go vote!
