Sorry for the all caps but get out there and vote to day if you are of age! It dose not matter who you vote for just do it. I don't whont to hear any of this stuff about it being to far away or too cold (most poelop in tbay there), or you don't like any one. If you do not like any one in this election do you think not voting is going to help? It will just make things worse. There have been hole rights movents over gorups geting the right to vote so don't sipt in the faces of thos peoleop in the past and use the rights you have today to promot chage! If you realy do not know who to vote for here are the links to some of the magor partys (in no logical order): http://www.liberal.ca http://www.ndp.ca http://www.conservative.ca http://www.greenparty.ca http://www.blocquebecois.org and the minor less know about ones: http://www.environmentvoters.org http://www.canadianactionparty.ca http://www.chp.ca http://www.communist-party.ca http://www.fpnpoc.ca http://www.libertarian.ca http://www.marijuanaparty.com http://www.mlpc.ca http://www.pcparty.org http://www.westernblockparty.com You have till 9:30pm tonight to vote, now stop reading and start voting! Edit: Please feal free to provied links to 3rd pratys and peoleop runing on there own. The above are just the offialy regirested partys as of today (i blive). Partys that where deregestired are not listed above. Edit 2: Please do not put any poltical debate in this topic, this topic is soley about the vote and the atack of voting.

UPDATE: The orgianl posted closing time (witch was the time writen on the election cards) is incorect and is aucatly 9:30pm. Also to thous who say they can not vote b/c they are not in there riding, they can even if your card says other wise if you have prof you live there at least temarply. Such prof could be diriveces licneces or even a tellphone/cable/internet/cell phone bill that has your temapry residec listed on it in combaition with photo id. Also new health cares and native status cards count as id cards! |

In about eight hours we will find out if we have a Conservative majority or (hopefully) minority. |

The polls opened at 8:00 PM? Why so late? Shouldn't they keep it open from 8:00 AM? More people can this way vote....? iunno.... Either way, been watching the elections ever since it started- pretty interesting campaigning, lots of personal attacks. I would like either the Conservatives to win or NPD (Minority). Damn, 18... they should allow 16 year olds to vote -.- |

Then you'd only have to wait 4 more years, eh?
Polls should be closed by then, after which we get to see the early results. Canadian law forbids posting results before the last poll closes so as not to influence people's votes. |

lol, I think if the polls were only open for an hour things would be so much more fun  Think of the mobs!
Looks like it's definitely going to be a conservative minority though  |

Voter turnout: 14,815,680 of 22,812,683 registered electors (64.9%) thats up from 60.5% in the 2004 election so its a good sign but its still hard to believe that about a 1/3 of Canadians didn't vote. |

thats up from 60.5% in the 2004 election so its a good sign but its still hard to believe that about a 1/3 of Canadians didn't vote. That is 65% of regiestered voters, if you never vote it is poisable to not be a regietered voter. Also thos stats whould be effected by popualtion growth sinc e poelop becoming of voting age whould not be regested unless they vote. |

Presumably if 16 year olds could vote the country would go down the drain. We had a school election (didn't really count...duh) and they told us who won and it was the GREEN PARTY!?!?!...like I said "down the drain". *** "The term Down The Drain" is not in reference to any particular party*cough *cough Green Party *cough *cough |

i honestly dont believe that 16 year olds should be allowed to vote unless they're highly aware of the political situation.. i mean how many 16 year olds actually care about tax cuts and such? and how many of them care about child support? to the mass majority of them, its just a game |

*** "The term Down The Drain" is not in reference to any particular party*cough *cough Green Party *cough *cough Our school participated in that too, and our results were eerily accurate. Our top 3 choices (NDP, Conservative, Liberal, in that order) were equal to our riding's votes to within 2%. The only real difference was in the lower parties -- the Marxist-Lennist party got 8% of the votes at our school, only 1% in our riding. With Green Party it was reversed, pretty much. But the essence of it was dead-on. |

Which probably means that the kids are voting the same as mommy & daddy. |
