Week 5 Update: National Student Vote Week, Results Submission and Social Media Contest

Category: Communications

National Student Vote Week is here!

We expect that more than one million students will cast ballots from all 338 ridings by the end of this week.

As you prepare to hold your vote, here are some important election reminders:

STUDENT VOTE DAY TOOLS:

If you are missing your election manual, you can find a copy posted on the Student Vote Day page of the website along with a video about organizing the vote and the Student Vote 2015 results.

SUBMITTING YOUR RESULTS:
Details on how to submit your results are included on the ‘Statement of the Poll’ sheet in your ballot package, and will also be emailed to you tomorrow.

Remember that you must keep your results confidential until the close of official election polls on Monday, October 21.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEST:

We’d love to see photos or videos of Student Vote Day in action at your school.

Please share them with us through email or social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) using the #StudentVoteCanada hashtag for a chance to win one of ten $50 Chapters/Indigo gift cards.

FAMILY ENGAGEMENT:

Based on feedback from teachers, we know that students are eager to share their newfound knowledge with family and friends, and engage them in conversation about the election. Fostering this engagement at home has the opportunity to boost voter turnout in the community. We encourage you to find ways to promote discussion and learning at home.
