My Vote Counts
Y4Y Québec is proud to launch our civic engagement initiative My Vote Counts, a province-wide voting campaign encouraging soon-to-be (those under 18) and current voters (ages 18-34) to participate at all levels of elections. Throughout the course of the project, youth leaders located in five distinct regions of Québec will mobilise youth in their region by distributing informative content in-person and on social media that instils confidence in youth to exercise their civic right to vote. Our primary mission is to inform, encourage, and mobilise youth to hit the polling booth.
Interested in contributing to this initiative on youth voting turnout?
We’re still collecting funds and building partnerships, please reach out to cecilia.eraso@y4yquebec.org for further information.
For more information on the youth voting turnout rate for those aged 18-34, check out the statistics below!
This initiative would not have been possible without the collection of funds by various organisations and the Canadian Government’s supplementary funding.
Thank you to the organisations that donated to My Vote Counts!
