We are giving Canadian students a chance to take part in mock Israeli elections. IsraelVotes2006.ca <http://www.israelvotes2006.ca/> is your gateway to learn about the parties, leaders, and issues and to vote for the party of your choice. The website includes information on all of the parties and leaders, as well as news on the election. After learning about the parties and issues you get the chance to vote by choosing your campus from the dropdown menu and filling out the online ballot. It's that easy! This is a great opportunity to engage in Israeli life and to show others the vibrant democracy in Israel. At the end, we will see how each campus, and how Canadian students as a whole, voted. Don't miss this great opportunity!
