Program Summary

  • Registered schools receive free learning materials and program outline to use during the federal election.
  • The teacher who registers the school becomes the "Team Leader" and is responsible for implementing the program with a relative class or student committee.
  • During the campaign period, students learn about the democratic process, party platforms, and local candidates, through in-class lessons and take home activities.
  • Events are organized to engage the entire school and to help to build critical thinking and decision-making skills among students (e.g. all-candidate debates).
  • On a day determined by each school, students take over the roles of Deputy Returning Officers and Poll Clerks, and conduct a school wide vote.
  • Each school counts their ballots and calls in their results into the Student Vote Returning Office, before a specified date and time.
  • The results are released to the public and shared with media across Canada.
