Election Day is October 14th - Your Vote Counts!

October 14th is voting day in Canada's 40th federal election.

In order to assist you in making an informed choice - and to give you a little weekend reading! - the AFN has posted on its website the platforms of all the political parties, the answers each political party provided to our questionnaire on First Nations issues, and analysis of the party responses and platforms. Go here to get all the information.

Also, be aware that identification requirements for voting in the election have changed, and these changes affect First Nations. You can get the info from the AFN website here (and watch an AFN-Elections Canada public service announcement on the changes) as well as here on the Elections Canada website.

Most of all, remember on October 14th: You're First Nations, and your vote counts!
