Student Vote is a fantastic program. Thanks to the helpful resources, I was able to teach about the democratic process with more confidence than I ever thought possible, and was able to deliver engaging, interactive and thought-provoking lessons in my classroom.
Program Info
Register your school
The program is open to all schools and there is no cost to participate. Schools may offer Student Vote to a single class or engage the entire student body in the program.
Receive materials
Registered schools are provided with a variety of learning materials, including lesson plans, slide decks, videos and online activities, as well as ballots and ballot boxes. All materials are available in English and French.
Engage with the campaign
Using experiential learning tools and strategies, students explore government and the election process, investigate the parties and candidates, and engage in discussion with their peers and families.
Student Vote Day
Students vote for the official election candidates running in their school’s electoral district. The results are shared publicly and with the media after the close of the official polls.
Why is it important?
“The best part of Student Vote is watching students become excited about what they’re learning. They follow and engage in the campaign, think critically about what the candidates are promising and learn about the issues affecting their province. It makes the study of government a truly authentic experience.”
