Useful Information For Voters

Election day is happening in

Your ID

One piece of identification (ID) showing your name and qualifying address is needed when you go to vote.

For name change requests, you will need two pieces of ID.

Your voting IDs do not need to have your photo or gender marker on them.

Your gender is not included on the list of electors at the polls.

ID can be in print or digital form. Examples: bank account statement, utility bills, educational transcript or report card, hospital card or record.

Your Safety

If you feel that your voting location is not a safe space for you, you have other choices.

Vote by Mail: Submit a Vote by Mail application.

Vote by Home Visit: Learn more on how to arrange a home visit.

Ballot Transfer: If you encounter a barrier at your designated voting place, you can vote at another location within your ward by submitting a Ballot Transfer Request.

Your Address

Let the voting place staff know if you currently do not have a permanent address.

The place you have gone most often to sleep or eat in the last 5 weeks will be your temporary address. E.g. a drop-in centre, a shelter, an intersection.

You will be required to sign a declaration of identity to add you to the voters’ list with a temporary address.
