Questions about voting

What do I need to vote?

Option 1: Show one of these pieces of ID

• your driver's licence

• any other card issued by a Canadian government (federal, provincial/territorial or local) with your photo, name and current address

Option 2: 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

• You can see a full list of accepted ID here.

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).

You can find your polling station online here, or on your voter information card.
