Are your friends voting?

Help spread a little democracy! Do one of the following:

Ask 3 friends if they're planning to vote

If they don't have a plan, or don't know their options, tell them to visit vote.NewMajority.ca!

Plan to go vote with a friend

Voting's a lot more fun with a friend!

Tell your friends that you're a voter

Why we're asking you to spread the word

If we want to keep our democracy, we have to use it, even when what we're voting on is (seemingly) really small and local. Municipal elections have a pitifully low turnout... But you — and the people you know — can change that!
