Thousands of students across British Columbia cast ballots over the past week in mock elections co-ordinated by Student Vote BC.
Among those taking part were students at Clayburn Middle School, who cast ballots for one of four Abbotsford-Mission candidates Monday. We asked a few of those participating what influenced their vote and whether the voting age should be lowered.
Results from the student polls will be released when polls close Tuesday
