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.
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.
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.
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.
