December brush with elections when Liberals survived a confidence vote, their parties are already vying for the elusive Quebec vote.Determined not to be as blindsided by the francophone factor as they were in 2019, behind the scenes party strategists look to one of the most significant and under-represented age groups in Quebec: young francophone voters.In 2019, 18-to 34-year-olds made up more than 23 per cent of the province’s voting population but represented the lowest turnout rate of any age group, with only about 56 per cent of them casting a vote.
Francophones made up three quarters of that age group during the most recent census.Despite an aging Canadian population, young voters retain the ability to significantly upset electoral.
