Student Vote is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to build the capacity and commitment of young Canadians to participate in their democracy.

Student Vote's flagship program is a parallel election for students under the voting age, coinciding with official election periods. The program combines in-class learning, family dialogue, media consumption and an authentic voting experience. The purpose is to provide young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand and practice the habits of informed and engaged citizenship.

To date, Student Vote has successfully designed and coordinated 18 parallel elections. In total, more than three million students across Canada have participated in Student Vote parallel elections since 2003.

Student Vote acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage Youth Take Charge Program.

Student Vote would also like to thank the following national and provincial partners: Alberta Education, Alberta Teachers' Association, British Columbia Teachers' Federation, Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians, Elections Ontario, L'Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens, Manitoba Education, Government of Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan Education, Youth and Retention and Attraction Strategy and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
