Who can vote?
Canadian citizens who are 18 years of age or older can vote, so long as you’re able to prove your identity and address.
If you do not have ID, an elector registered to the same polling station can vouch for you, so long as you declare your ID and address and that person has not vouched for anyone else. There is an exception in the case of long-term care facilities, where there is an ability for someone to vouch for more than one person.
You can use your voter information card as proof of address, but you’ll also need additional ID, whether a utility bill, or a student ID card, or bank statement, for example.
If you have a driver’s licence or other government ID that has your photo, your name and current address, then you only need that one piece, but still bring your voter information card with you.
You can check to see if you are registered to vote, here.

- Friday, Sept. 10
- Saturday, Sept. 11
