On behalf of Elections Canada, the Canadian Ethnocultural Council is doing outreach to inform voters about when, where and ways to vote.

We greatly appreciate your assistance in distributing information from Elections Canada and getting the word out in your community.


There are two important Elections Canada documents which are available in 31 heritage languages:
