The Vote PopUp kit was created by Samara Canada to foster interest in the upcoming election and demystify the voting process for first-time or infrequent voters.

Workshops are being help across Canada to maximize voter turnout by: 

  • confirming participants are registered with up-to-date information;
  • verifying their electoral district and polling location; 
  • informing them about ID requirements and ways to vote; and 
  • allowing them to practice casting a ballot.
