Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2024

When were Aboriginal people granted the right to vote in Canada?

1. 1948

2. 1960

3. 1975

4. 1982

The correct answer is: 1960

In 1948, all Canadian citizens were granted the right to vote, however, this did not include Indigenous peoples. They were still subject to discriminatory legislation that restricted their voting rights. It was not until 1960 that Indigenous peoples were finally granted the right to vote without any restrictions. The other options are incorrect because they either fall before this date or after, and therefore do not align with the given information. Option A and C are both before 1960, while option D is after 1960 and refers to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982. This event granted equal rights to Indigenous peoples, but it was not specifically related to voting rights. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 1960.
