Broad topics we might want to look at

We need to decide whether we want to focus on the voting in one election or the voting of elections throughout the years. I think a starter question is asking whether the respondent participated in the last BC election (if we are choosing to focus specifically on BC residents). However, introducing a third-person introduction may help decrease the likelihood of a respondent lying about their activity.

As a rough example: Some people choose to vote in their provincial election. Other people are unable to or disinterested in doing so. In regards to the most recent, past provincial election, did you: A) Vote B) Not Vote C) Were Not Eligible D) Prefer Not to Answer

I think another interesting question, as mentioned above, is asking from which social media source people are receiving their political information. I really don't know how to frame this question but something along the lines of asking where the person receives their political information in regards to political parties: print (established newspapers, magazines), online (newspapers, magazines), 24 hour news channels, local news hour, new social media (facebook groups, twitter, etc).
