Click here to access results and find out more about elections in Vancouver.
The City of Vancouver is dedicated to promoting the civic engagement of young people (and Vancouverites of all ages). There are many ways for young people to get engaged in local government and local issues.
One of the most important things is to VOTE!
We want to make it as easy as possible for young eligible voters to exercise their franchise… their RIGHT to vote. So, Social Policy staff often help the City’s Election Office to get the word out about voting to young Vancouverites.
