Rush the Vote is a non-profit organization keeping Canadian youth informed, connected and vocal about issues that affect them. Mission To increase voter turnout and political awareness among Canadian youth (18 – 30) through art, music and education. OurStory Rush the Vote (RTV) was created in 1997 (in consultation with the U.S. organization Rock the Vote) in response to low young voter turnout.
