The correct answer is: Citizens vote for a party whose leader then becomes the Prime Minister.

In Canada, during federal elections, citizens vote for candidates in their local ridings. The political party that wins the most seats in the House of Commons typically forms the government, and its leader becomes the Prime Minister.
