I found this out from a judge who was a guest speaker to a class i took. If you'll be 18 beforeelection day you can vote for anything in that year even if you are 17. For example I will be 18 in October of this year, so starting with Jan. 1 of this year i can vote in any elections because i turn 18 beforeelection day. This is very cool so when you are 17 you should go ahead and register.

Interesting to know. Although for me it would not have made that much of a difference considering the fact that the year I turned eightteen was not an election year.

I wonder if it's the same in Canada. *sad*. I could have voted in the most recent election.
