Laurier lost the election for many reasons. He lost mainly because of conscription and a wartime act. Conscription forced every male from 19-42 to go to the Great War. Borden passed the Wartime Elections Act. It: a. Gave the vote to women who were wives, sisters or mothers of a soldier. b. Allowed soldiers at the foront to vote The govt decided which riding votes would go to. c. Removed the vote from enemy aliens. The women voted for Borden they wanted their families to survive. The soldier voted for borden they wanted more hel. Their votes were used selectively to win key ridins. The new immigrants lost their votes they were traditional liberal voters. Borden won the election. In the end only 24 000 conscripts went to the front. from: Luca (without a wiki name.)
