In the last federal election in 2008 59.1% of the eligible population voted. This is a record low for Canada and is down from 60.9% of the eligible population that voted in the 2004 federal election.
In Canada, the prime minister is not elected directly. Members of Parliament are elected, and whichever party holds the most seats in parliament generally forms the government. The leader of that party then becomes prime minister.

The only Canadians who may not cast a vote are the Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(a) of the Canada Elections Act), and the Assistant Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(b) of the Canada Elections Act). Therefore, the Governor General of Canada has the legal right to vote. However, just as Her Majesty the Queen does not vote in Her Majesty's oldest realm, the United Kingdom, the Governor General of Canada does not cast a vote so as to stay non-partisan.

Any Canadian citizen who is 18 years of age or older may legally vote in Canada. Voters are asked for documents to prove their identity and place of residence (to determine which riding they are in) but you actually can vote even without any documents, if you take an oath swearing to the relevant facts. Voting in Canada is a very flexible process.
Yes Canada is a democracy.
Everyone 18 and above can vote in Canada
