The Power is Yours: Election Resources

This election handbook, developed by Ryerson’s Democratic Engagement Exchange is a non-partisan guide that equips first-time and infrequent voters with the knowledge to make a confident vote in the election. It is engaging, easy to read, and most importantly: fun! 

Elections Canada offers information on voting in Farsi! Guide to the Federal can be found here and a list of acceptable Voter IDs can be found here

We will have physical copies of all of these resources for you at our Voter Engagement Workshop on October 5th!

If you have any suggestions or feedback on our newsletter, please let us know at team@ayedi.ca

Sincerely,
The AYEDI Team
