Just two of the initiaves launched by Elections NB to get young voters out to cast a ballot.


The average for this Province is around 67% which is high compared to other Provinces.


Chief Electoral Officer Michael Quinn tells CHSJ News, the 18-25 demographic has always been the tough bracket to crack but they are working to change that pattern.


Earlier this week, Elections NB announced they are teaming up with Northumberland Dairy with side panels on cartons of milk reminding young people to cast a ballot.
