I don't get it, there's no point in voting. What impact is one vote really going to make?
Hey, are you going to participate in this year's municipality election?
See that kid over there? He wouldn't be able to go to school if it weren't for the municipal government.
Every vote matters. Municipal governments take care of almost all of our daily activities. Water, electricity, the emergency, garbage disposal, those are all some of the responsibilities of a municipal government.
Woah! that sounds pretty important. How do I participate?
Canada is a democracy which means you get to vote for who you want to run this city. Whoever you think is best.
How do I vote?
Wait... how old are you?
Great, the legal age to vote in Canada is 18, you should be good.
I am 22, 23 next month.
That's perfect! In order to vote, you must live in or own a property in this municipality.
Do you own any property here in Mississauga?
Yes, actually I'm on my way to my apartment right now.
In most municipalities, voting is done through a ballot. You'd go to a place and vote for who you want to be mayor.
Wait, so where do I go to vote?
Some municipalities have other methods like voting online, touch screen voting, and voting by mail and phone.
