This quiz helps you understand the voting process in Canada, your rights and responsibilities as a citizen, and the importance of participating in elections — all essential knowledge for the Canadian citizenship test.
The Importance of Voting in Canada
Voting is a cornerstone of Canadian democracy. Every citizen who is 18 years or older has the right to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections. By voting, Canadians influence who represents them in government and help shape laws, policies, and the future of the country.
Canada uses a first-past-the-post system, where the candidate with the most votes in each riding is elected to the House of Commons. The political party with the most elected MPs typically forms the government, and its leader becomes the Prime Minister. For more official information, visit Elections Canada.
