Elections: The Educational Package

The young readers of Kayak will soon be adults eligible for a hard-won, powerful privilege: the right to vote in Canada’s federal elections. In the September issue, we explore the surprising history of our national votes, from the violence and exclusion of the past to today’s transparency and fairness. 

Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault explains what kids need to know about modern federal elections and why they matter, and readers are invited to consider what they think is the right age to start voting.
