The federal election is just around the corner, and now is a great time to make sure you're ready to vote!
Whether it’s your first time voting or you’re a seasoned voter, we want to make sure everyone in our community feels confident and informed heading into election day. That’s why we’re sharing some key information and resources to help you prepare.
WHO CAN VOTE
You can vote if you:
Are a Canadian citizen
Are at least 18 years old on April 28
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING WITH YOU TO VOTE:
Proof of Address:
One piece of ID with your name and current address.
(e.g., driver’s license or government-issued photo ID)OR you can bring two pieces of ID—one with your photo (such as drivers license) and another document with your address (bank statement, utility bill). Both documents must have your name.
For more important information about ID’s and accepted documents to prove identity and address click here: ID to vote – Elections Canada
Even if you don’t have a fixed address/proof of identity, you can still vote!
You can vote with a Letter of Confirmation of Residence (from a shelter, residence, long-term care facility, etc.) and one piece of ID with your name.
Or, have someone vouch for you — You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you. They must be assigned to your polling station and must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care facilities).
If you register in advance, you’ll receive a Voter Information Card (VIC) in the mail by April 11, telling you when and where to vote. This makes voting quicker — bring your VIC and ID when you vote!
REGISTERING TO VOTE & VOTER INFORMATION CARDS (VICS)
If you’re registered, you’ll receive a Voter Information Card in the mail.
You do NOT need to be registered before election day!
If you're not already registered, you can register right at the polls when you go to vote.
Your Voter Information Card (VIC) tells you:
When and where to vote
What ID you’ll need
Confirms your registration is up to date
Helps workers direct you to the right table with your polling number
Bringing your VIC makes voting faster, but it's not required.
