canadian federal election 2011 – young people voting?

I watched the whole thing go down yesterday.  I love voting and feel this election was very exciting. The way information is delivered & talked about today is very different than it was during the last election in 2008. Social media was a hot topic across all media. Voter turnout was higher than previous years, although not by much. I’m interested to see youth vote number, I really hope young people came through!

Someone on Twitter asked me:

“What’s got you so election happy. Is that JUST you feelin’ peeps should be out and voting… ?”

Yes. That is exactly it. It is very important to vote.  Hope I encouraged at least one person to get out there and cast a ballot. I liked seeing the rise in  NDP, pretty crazy they have never had more than 48 seats. I talked to a bunch of people who chose to vote that way for the very first time.  Surprised to how low the Liberal vote was. Excited to see the Green Party in the House of Commons for the first time.

I only want the best for you, Canada.
