As we like to say at Elections Canada, “the soup is getting hot!”. With the potential for a federal election looming ever closer, we are spreading the word about the accessibility tools and programs to make electoral participation more accessible. You are officially invited to the Elections Canada session happening on the 10th of April from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. As the non-partisan agents of parliament responsible for running federal general elections, our goal is that by the end of this session, you will feel confident voting through your personalized plan on election day.
If you require any accommodations to participate in this session, please contact jessica.burylo@elections.ca
Elections Canada mission is to ensure that Canadians can exercise their democratic rights to vote and be a candidate. Research shows that some electors, including youth, new Canadians, electors with disabilities and Indigenous electors, face barriers to participating in elections. These barriers can include not knowing the ways to register and vote, or how to work at an election or run as a candidate. Through the Inspire Democracy program, Elections Canada works with a network of partner organizations to share key information and hold workshops for people who face barriers to participating in elections.
5:30–7:00 pm | adults and seniors | registration not required | no cost to attend |
