Canadian Vote in Elections – Chapter 6 Quiz

This quiz helps you understand how Canadians participate in federal elections, the importance of voting, and the democratic process — all essential knowledge for the Canadian citizenship test.
Understanding Voting in Canada
Voting is a fundamental right and responsibility in Canada’s democracy. Every Canadian citizen who is 18 years or older has the right to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections. Participating in elections ensures that citizens have a say in who represents them in government and how laws and policies are made.
Canada uses a first-past-the-post system, where candidates with the most votes in each riding (electoral district) are elected to the House of Commons. The political party with the majority of elected MPs usually forms the government, with the leader becoming the Prime Minister. For official details, visit Elections Canada.
