• Understanding Federal, Provincial/Territorial, and Local Elections
  Which Election? / Quelle Élection

  Citizens vote in elections at federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal/local levels. These elections are run by different organizations, under different conditions, with each electing a different parliament, legislature, or council.

  Learn more about the three levels of government and discover opportunities to engage in civic participation at each level through the short videos developed in collaboration with all provincial and territorial electoral agencies and Elections Canada.
