Why Is it Important to Vote?
In 2020, young voters made up 1 in 5 of all registered voters in BC and several ridings came down to only a few hundred votes.
We will decide this provincial election. Every vote contributes to shaping the policies that affect our daily lives, from education and healthcare to employment and the environment.
Our voices matter, so make yours heard!
