CIVIX believes that the best way to support students in developing citizenship skills is for them to experience their democracy first-hand. By reaching students throughout their school career, during and between election periods, we hope to prepare them to be active citizens before they reach official voting age.

Student Vote, the flagship program of CIVIX, is an experiential civic literacy program that provides students under the voting age with the opportunity to learn about democracy, government and the electoral process, and cast ballots for the official candidates in a parallel election.

CIVIX programming focuses on the themes of elections, government budgets, elected representatives, digital media literacy and civic discourse.

Student Vote BC 2024 is presented in collaboration with Elections BC.
