Every Vote Counts Calgary

Every Vote Counts Calgary On October 16, 2017, Calgary votes for a mayor, city council and school board trustees. Young people aged 18-35 have historically been the least likely to vote.

That means the issues you care most about are the least likely to be heard and addressed by the people elected to make those decisions on your behalf. Let's change that. This fall, make Every Vote Count. Every Vote Counts Calgary is a volunteer-led initiative under the direction of the Ethno-Cultural Council of Calgary (ecccalgary.com) and the Coalition for Equal Access to Education (elsaction.com).

Incredible turnout in the 2017 municipal election. 58% of voters made their way to polling stations across the city. Lines were long and sometimes frustrating with reports of stations running out of ballots! But is that not a good problem to have? It's amazing to see so many Calgarians take part in the election, join the conversation and make their vote count!

Turnout looks good! 6:00 in Sunnyside.

Important info I caught in a tweet:

To vote you need to bring an ID with your name and address on it. Driving licence, utility bill, bank statement all work.

Did you know you don't have to wait until October 16 to make your vote count? You can do it now! You can vote at advance polls until October 11 (excluding Thanksgiving Monday) at stations across the city. This "drive-up" option is only available until Friday. But there's a link to a map in this news story so you can find the closest polling station to you. Get out and vote!

Calgary's municipal election may not be until Oct. 16 but you can start voting as of Wednesday — without even leaving your car.

Candidates for mayor are getting some space on the CBC News website to talk about themselves and their vision for Calgary. Inform yourself! Take the time to read through them as they come out.

CBC Calgary has offered each candidate for the office of mayor the opportunity to write up to 700 words on our website, outlining what they believe to be the greatest challenges facing our city, and what they would do about those challenges if elected. This is Emile Gabriel's contribution.

Our Story

In 2019, Albertans will have the opportunity to make their voices heard in two general elections. In the spring, we’ll see our PROVINCIAL leaders campaigning for your vote. That’s followed by a FEDERAL election in the fall. Young people aged 18-30 have historically been the least likely to vote. That means the issues you care most about are the least likely to be heard and addressed by the people elected to make those decisions on your behalf. Let's change that. In 2019, make Every Vote Count. Every Vote Counts Calgary is a volunteer-led initiative under the direction of Action Dignity.
