Who is entitled to vote in Canadian federal elections?

  1. Canadian residents

  2. Canadian citizens who are 16 years or older

  3. Canadian citizens who are 18 years or older

  4. All Canadian residents over the age of 18

The correct answer is: Canadian citizens who are 18 years or older

The correct answer is C because under the Canadian Elections Act, only Canadian citizens who are 18 years or older are eligible to vote in federal elections. While Canadian residents are an important part of the country, they are not necessarily Canadian citizens and therefore cannot vote in federal elections. Similarly, Canadian citizens who are 16 years or older are not able to vote as the minimum voting age is 18. Lastly, option D is incorrect because it includes all Canadian residents, not just Canadian citizens, and does not specify the minimum voting age of 18.
