After an Election – Chapter 6 Quiz
After an Election (7 Questions) is part of Chapter 6 – Federal Elections in the Discover Canada guide. This quiz helps you understand what happens after Canadians vote, how elected officials assume office, and how the government begins its work — all essential knowledge for the Canadian citizenship test.
What Happens After an Election
After voters cast their ballots, the election results are counted and verified. The candidate with the most votes in each riding becomes a Member of Parliament (MP). The political party with the majority of MPs usually forms the government, and its leader becomes the Prime Minister.
Once the government is formed, MPs take office, the Cabinet is appointed, and the new session of Parliament begins. This process ensures that democracy continues smoothly and that Canadians are represented in government. For official information, visit Government of Canada – How Parliament Works.
