Every Canadian citizen has the right to vote, to choose the leaders who will represent them. Voting is a responsibility that all Canadians should exercise.
There is no branch of government closer to your life than municipal government. Your community is shaped by the outcome of an election.
Voting connects citizens with the political process and with each other. When you take part in an election and express your view, you make democracy work.
