In order to vote, you should have received a voter information card in the mail, notifying you of your assigned polling station.

If you didn’t receive a voter information card or are unsure where to vote, you can enter your postal code or address here. To cast a ballot in the 2019 federal election, residents will need to bring at least one piece of identification, either a driver’s license or any government-issued piece of identification with your photo, name, and address. Other options include two pieces of identification that include your name and address such as a utility bill, student ID card, bank statement, or voter information card. If you don’t have any ID, Elections Canada will still allow you to vote if you have a witness that can address in writing and declare your identity.
