Student testimonials and data will answer pressing questions about the next generation of Nova Scotians, such as their outlook on the state of our society and if/how they differ from their parents.
Student Vote is an experiential civic literacy program that provides students under the voting age with the opportunity to practice the habits of active and informed citizenship and cast ballots for the official candidates in a parallel election.
Participating schools received a variety of non-partisan educational materials to teach about government and the election process and encourage research and discussion about the issues and candidates.
Ballots, ballot boxes and voting screens were also provided for the coordination of Student Vote Day.
