Canadian soldiers at the front voting in the 1917 election. Two soldiers with a sack wait to collect the completed ballots. Canadians engaged in military service, regardless of race, age or gender, were eligible to vote. Ninety percent of them voted for Sir Robert Borden's Union government that ran a campaign based on invoking conscription.
