Every Vote Counts: Report To The Community
Why do some immigrants
vote in civic elections
and why do some not
vote? How do we encourage
more immigrants to vote in
local elections?
The Ethno-Cultural Council
of Calgary and Immigrant
Sector Council of Calgary
asked members of Calgary’s
immigrant communities to
answer these questions.
While the project began
as a modest attempt to
understand voting trends
among Calgary’s immigrant
communities, what resulted
was much more powerful.
The Report To The Community tells the story
of the incredible realizations
and relationships that grew
over the course of seven
months, five gatherings, and
one inspirational municipal
election.
