According to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every Canadian citizen has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly (1982, s 3). Yet, throughout the years, we can see a lower voter turnout at all levels of government.

• At the federal level, only 76% of eligible Canadian voters partook in the 2021 election (Government of Canada, 2022)

• At the provincial level, Ontario reached the lowest voter turnout in history when the 2022 election had taken place -- with only 43% of eligible voters taking part in the election (DeClerq, 2022)

• At the municipal level, there was only a 33% voter turnout for eligible voters during this month of October! (AMO's 2022 Municipal Election Results, 2022)

These recent statistics showcase alarming issues regarding voter turnout. If we truly want a change within our government and the way certain issues are being addressed, more needs to be done to ensure citizens take part in their responsibility of voting.

Keeping such points in mind, Seif Roushdy, the leader of the Bloc Quebecois, is the leader you want to vote for! Seif Roushdy would ensure your vote would not go to waste and allow change to occur within all sectors of government.
