"As the upper chamber debates the Vote 16 Act, the second reading vote will reveal whether this momentum is strong enough to secure Parliament’s first dedicated, exclusive study of youth enfranchisement."

Jayden Paquet-Noiseux défend Vote16 dans Sur le Vif:
« À 16 ans, un, t’es encore chez toi, t’es pas encore parti pour l’université, t’es chez tes parents, t’es à ton école. Tu participes à la ville commune à 16 ans. » #vote16canada #vote16

PEI Senators 👋 as you consider Bill S-222, the #Vote16 Act, a quick reminder: voting at 16 isn’t new to Prince Edward Island. It’s already happened -- successfully. 🧵

Senator Marilou McPhedran on Bill S-222 at TEDxUofT 2026:
“Extending the voting age does not politicize young people: Politics already shapes their lives. What it does is invite them into the conversation as participants ratherthan as spectators.”

Nous avons créé un espace de dialogue respectueux avec de jeunes leaders, y compris celles et ceux qui travaillent sur #Vote16. Rien de tout cela n’aurait été possible sans le travail acharné et le dévouement de notre équipe, guidée par la Dre Terjanian.

We need to solve for #democratic resilience earlier in the cycle in 🇨🇦 + research around the world shows #Vote16 is one winning path. At 16, we work, pay taxes, drive, consent.
Il est temps que le 🇨🇦 renforce sa #démocratie: #Vote16Canada offre une voie pour le faire, éprouvée par les faits.
"Grounded in strong research and evidence, Vote16 Canada is an example of evidence driving action, translating what studies show about youth capacity, engagement, and democratic participation into meaningful policy change."

I posted on Wed about ABC anti-democratic NO vote to lower #Vancouver city voting age to 16 with not one word of why. Check out @PtFry motion & my handout to Council plus scroll down to hear Paul George scathing condemnation of ABC in Chambers. #Vote16 actionintime.ca/2025/10/vanc...
From Hill Times, a piece on our campaign for @senmarilou.bsky.social's #Vote16 Act.
As of today, 17 Canadian municipal councils and school boards have passed motions in support of extending the voting age to 16, or studying the policy.
I just spoke to city council in support of #PtFry motion for #Vancouver to be Canada’s leader to lower voting age to 16. Many passionate youth speakers! All devastated by ABC Councillors silence, then their unanimous NO vote. This was not democracy! Wipe them out at next election! #vote16
I’m in favor of the #vote16 effort which would allow voting in municipal elections. Early habits are good!
