The Vote on Campus initiative was started by Elections Canada as a pilot project in 2015 .

109 campuses held voting stations and saw more than 110,000 voters in the 2019 election.

The program was not offered in the 2021 election due to the pandemic and a drop in youth voter participation.

Voting on campus is available at the University of Calgary , SAIT , Mount Royal University and Bow Valley College from April 13-16 .
