It was the closest voting station to all of our houses and the first time we were eligible to vote in a federal election. We weren’t the only ones that had shown up that day. According to Elections Canada, 57.1% of the 18-24 demographic had voted in the 2015 Canadian Election, an 18.3% increase from 2011.
