Being a democratic country allows us to make many decisions very efficiently. It is said that democracy is one of the most effective and easy systems of government other than dictatorship which only one person makes the choices, but democracy lets people have a say in the choices that their country makes. Efficiency is great for decision making as a country because it does not take as long as a consensus and most if not, all people will be content with the outcome. Also, anyone who meets the requirements is able to vote for who they want to represent them as a province or a country. Requirements for voting are that you must be 18 years of age or older as well as you must be a Canadian citizen and the only person who is not allowed to vote is the Chief Electoral Officer. There are two times in Manitoba when an election will take place every four years.
