Your vote matters! Come by the Marketplace Food Court October 5-9 and cast your vote early!
Elections Canada (EC) is trying to make voting as easy as possible for eligible voters, as well as also attempting to increase access for young voters. More information on the Vote on Campus Initiative can be found here.
Elections Canada has identified the Ottawa campus of Algonquin College as an External Service Point. That means that students, faculty and employees who are eligible to vote (Canadian citizen, 18 years old on election day), will have the option to register and vote by special ballot on campus for 5 consecutive days (October 5-9) before the actual election day of October 21 regardless of which Electoral District (riding) they reside in. You must show proof of your identity and address in order to vote.
The location of the special ballot poll will be The Marketplace Food Court, Salon A, D building.
