Timeline
Prior to Student Vote Week - students will be exploring political parties and
issues through the lessons and material. Grade 9 students are responsible for
researching political parties and creating a poster/handout to share the
platform of the party. This allowed students to practice researching skills, and
developing informed opinions about the parties.
Timeline
Student Vote Week (October 13-16) - Students of all grades will be preparing
themselves for the election. Ballot boxes will be set up by the grade 9
students.
October 14 Student Vote Day! Grade 9 students will be working as poll clerks
and returning officers to ensure an authentic voting experience. Students
from other classes will be invited at this point to come cast their ballots.
Timeline
October 15-16 - Students will assist in counting the ballots. They are sworn to
secrecy as the official results are not permitted to be shared in advance of the
federal election results due to the nature of the polling that takes place.
The ballot count will be reported by myself to Student Vote on October 16,
who will be taking and tallying the results of all participants.
Timeline
October 19 Election Day! - Eligible voters nationwide will be casting their vote
in the Canadian Federal Election 2015.
That evening, after the closing of voting stations, official Student Vote results
will be broadcasted to Canada, relaying the federal results as well as the
results of the participating ridings.
