Calgary’s youth are getting a chance to get involved in the election on Monday, Youth Central will be holding a mock election with several schools.
The students will check off who they would vote for in this election if it were legal for them to do so.
Ros Doi, one of the coordinators, tells 660News that getting students involved is important, “We are hoping to get students engaged as young as possible.”
She says that if someone is an educated voter at an early age, that can set a precedent for the rest of their life.
Results from the mock election will be released on Monday night on their website at www.youthcanvote.com
