Our mission, values, and the team behind ELEX Canada.
Elections Explained was created with a simple but important mission: to remove the barriers that come with voting. Canadians face many challenges come election time, and we at ELEX want to do everything we can to make voting as easy as possible.
In an era of information overload and increasing polarization, we believe that it is more important than ever to educate ourselves about how our system works, and who our options for political leaders are.
Our goal is to make voting and politics less intimidating. The electoral process is so important, and often times it becomes hard to understand as complicated ideas and words get used. This can discourage people from becoming interested or invested in the politics that affect their daily lives. Our goal here is to make sure everyone has the oppourtunity to understand Canadian elections and politics better. We want to provide clear and factual information about elections all in one place so that Canadians can ultimately feel educated and empowered to get out and vote!
We are committed to political neutrality and factual accuracy.
We do not endorse any political party or candidate. Our commitment is to provide unbiased information.
Our information is sourced from party platforms, press releases, government documents, and reputable news sources.
We strive to explain complex topics in clear, straightforward language that everyone can understand.
We cover the full spectrum of the electoral process in depth, from voter registration to government formation.
