The goal of this guide, an updated version of an earlier document, is to make the electoral process more accessible to all Canadians.

The guide is divided into three sections: definitions of terms related to elections and voting; the electoral process; and step-by-step instructions on what to do on election day.

The authors have used clear, simple language, making it possible for people to read the guide on their own. However, it could also be used in a classroom setting, including English as a Second Language (ESL) classes.
