Student Vote is a parallel election for students under the voting age, coinciding with the federal election. The purpose is to provide young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the voting process firsthand and build the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. Learning Intentions: I can ask questions and offer judgments, conclusions, and interpretations supported by evidence I or others have gathered. I registered our school in this special program so that we could participate. There's at least 1 school in each of the 338 ridings registered! Students learned about government and the electoral process, researched the parties running in our riding, our candidates and the issues, and talked a lot about the upcoming election! On vote day, we had polls clerks helping run our station, and we took turns casting ballots for the official election candidates in our South Surrey-White Rock riding. The results will be tabulated nationally and by riding, and shared with media for broadcast and publication.
