In 2011, a student vote was conducted at participating Canadian schools to parallel the 2011 Canadian federal election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district where they were physically located.{{cite web|url=http://www.studentvote.ca/2011/results/district.php?province=PE&id=226|title=School by School results|publisher=Student Vote Canada|accessdate=2013-06-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506073543/http://www.studentvote.ca/2011/results/district.php?id=226&province=PE|archive-date=6 May 2015|url-status=dead}}
