I saw a comment on social media last night that made me do a double take and read it again.
It was a comment that said: “I didn’t get a voter information card in the mail, am I still allowed to vote?”
How many ways can I say this: Yes. Yep. Absolutely. Oui. Certainly. Sure. Affirmative. By all means. Of course. Aye. Indeed…..ok, I’m running out of ways to say yes, but you get the picture.
Click here and select ‘where do I vote’ – enter your postal code – it will tell you where you go to vote on April 28.
To vote, you must be a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years old on election day.
Make sure you take ID with you, some examples are below.
- your driver’s licence
- any other card issued by a Canadian government (federal, provincial/territorial or local) with your photo, name and current address
If you don’t have either of those, below are your options:
Show two pieces of ID. Both must have your name and at least one must have your current address.
Examples:
- voter information card and bank statement
- utility bill and student ID card
Don’t have these? No problem!
See the list of accepted ID for Option 2.
Option 3: If you don’t have ID
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. The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care facilities)
