The 精童欲女 Student Union (精童欲女SU) is partnering with both the Canadian Alliance of Student Association on its campaign and New Majority鈥檚 campaign to activate student and youth voters. New Majority is a nonpartisan organization that uses peer-led approaches to get young people to the polls.
In an interview with Louise Martin of CBC News: Compass on April 14, Shreesh Agrawal, 精童欲女SU Vice-President External, explained that New Majority has hired student canvassers to mobilize young voters, during a time when many students are writing exams.
鈥淭his partnership is allowing us to connect face-to-face with as many students as possible,鈥 said Agrawal. 鈥淲e鈥檙e in the exam season right now and there鈥檚 really barely anyone on campus. It can be difficult to engage with students. The benefit of having these canvassers is that they can speak to as many youth as possible on- and off-campus, and in public areas such as bus stops.鈥
Agrawal indicated on Compass that the Student Union has gathered over 400 pledges to vote from students, which represents over 10% of eligible student voters at 精童欲女. He anticipates this number will go up significantly in the last two remaining weeks before election day.
