It’s Time to Vote!

The 2023 Provincial Election advance voting window is now open!

Canadian citizens who are 18 years of age or older and have lived in Manitoba for more than 6 months are eligible to vote.

Election day is Tuesday, October 3rd, but if possible you should take advantage of the advance voting location right in BU! The Elephant Room (on the third floor of the KDC, right across from the Quill Office) is open for advance voters from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily, noon to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. Don’t forget your ID!

Here in Brandon, we have two electoral divisions - one east of 18th, and one west. For more information about the candidates in your local division, visit electionsmanitoba.ca. To hear from the provincial candidates in their own words, I would recommend watching the recorded September 21st debate online.

Voting is incredibly important. Students need to stop letting the older generations make decisions for us, and make our voices heard! It only takes five minutes out of your day to make your opinions count in a big way.
