THANK YOU for making AUSU’s
Get Out the Vote campaign a huge success!

With the 2015 federal election campaign now over, AUSU would like to thank ALL of our members who pledged to vote during our GOTV campaign. It was a resounding success with over 800 members pledging to vote. It was a testament to the drive of not only our members but of all Canadians in having their voices heard.
