An opportunity to learn and experience democracy through a simulation!
The program provides an original and dynamic way for elementary (cycle 3) and secondary (general and vocational) teaching staff to introduce democracy education into the classroom. Likewise, youth organizations can give young people a unique, hands-on experience of democracy.
During Voters in Training election simulations, young people vote for candidates running in their electoral division.
This component of the program includes educational activities designed to raise awareness about the importance of voting and civic engagement. In fact, these activities are aligned with the Quebec Education Program!
Voters in Training is offered free of charge throughout Québec, in both English and French (under the name Électeurs en herbe).
The election simulation process
- Teaching staff at elementary (cycle 3) and secondary schools, as well as youth organization representatives can register for the Voters in Training program by completing an online form.
- Educational activities prepare participating young people for the voting process.
- Registered schools receive all required election materials (ballot boxes, polling booths, ballot papers).
- Election simulations are held a few days before the real elections.
- The results are posted the day after the elections on the Élections Québec website. Young participants can then compare the results of their simulation with those of the real election.
Registration period: May 30 to September 16, 2022
