Student vote parallels federal election results
Although most weren’t old enough to vote, students practiced their democracy in a mock election.
The national Student Vote, put on by CIVIX, had students in grades six to 12 attend participating schools to cast a ballot.
As it turned out, youth across the country had a very similar views as those who actually participated in the federal election.
Like the national results, the Liberal Party came in with a majority government in the student vote as well. The party garnered 38 per cent of the vote with 226 seats.
