Sorry. I submit that largely political parties should be responsible for creating that motivation. It's our job to make sure as candidates that we encourage and motivate young people to vote.
But there's another problem for young people. This comes from Elections Canada's own data. After the last election, they looked at the reasons young people didn't vote, and some of the biggest things they found were logistical problems and lack of information. For example, there was not knowing where to vote; 25% reported that as a problem. As well, 26% reported not knowing when to vote, and 19% cited not knowing how to vote as playing a role in their decision.
Obviously, I believe that the requirements of Elections Canada to better focus on ensuring that young people do have that information about where, when, and how to vote...and one of the biggest things I think we've seen through a lot of the testimony we've had is not knowing the IDs that might be required, or what might be on the list of 39....
Do you think having Elections Canada focus a little bit better on that role of letting people know that information would be helpful in encouraging more young people to get out and vote?
