Canadian citizens who are 18 years of age and run in federal elections are called what?

  1. Voters

  2. Politicians

  3. Candidates

  4. Electors

The correct answer is: Candidates

Canadian citizens who are 18 years of age can participate in federal elections by running as a candidate. Voters are anyone who is eligible to vote in an election, not just citizens. Politicians are elected officials who hold public office, not individuals who are running for office. Electors are individuals who are chosen by voters to vote on their behalf in the electoral college system, which is not used in Canadian federal elections. Therefore, the correct answer is C, candidates.
