Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

What happens once an election has been called?

1. A new government is formed immediately

2. Elections Canada mails a voter information card to each elector

3. The previous MP’s term is extended

4. Campaigning is prohibited

The correct answer is: Elections Canada mails a voter information card to each elector

Once an election has been called, Elections Canada begins the process of actively preparing for the election by mailing voter information cards to each elector. This helps to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote is aware of the upcoming election and has all the necessary information, such as where and when to vote. Options A and D are incorrect because the formation of a new government and campaigning are part of the election process and occur after the voting has taken place. Option C is incorrect because once an election is called, the previous MP's term remains the same until a new MP is elected. Therefore, the correct answer is B, which highlights an important step in the election process.
