Which Election? / Quelle Élection?

Understanding Federal, Provincial/Territorial, and Local Elections

Citizens vote in elections at federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal/local levels.

Learn more about the three levels of government or how you can engage in the process through the short videos below. This resource is also great for classroom!
