Are your friends voting?
Help spread a little democracy! Do one of the following:
Why we're asking you to spread the word
If we want to keep our democracy, we have to use it, even when what we're voting on is (seemingly) really small and local. Municipal elections have a pitifully low turnout... But you — and the people you know — can change that!

What to bring
If you're already registered, you don't need ID to vote.
- If you're not sure if you're registered, bring ID anyways.
- If you were registered under an old name or address (usually because you've moved or updated your name since), you will need ID.
Otherwise, you'll need to bring...
Your voter card.
- Didn't get your voter card in the mail?You can still vote with ID.
and/or...
2 pieces of ID, proving who you are and where you live:
- At least 1 piece should have your residential address
- At least 1 piece should have your signature
If neither piece of ID has your address, you may make a solemn declaration instead.
Be on the safe side: Bring extra ID if you can.
Examples of acceptable ID
- BC Driver’s Licence
- BC Identification Card
- BC Care Card
- Utility bill (water, electrical, gas)
- Social Insurance Card
- Citizenship Card
- Owner’s Certificate of Insurance and Vehicle Licence
- Property Taxation Notice

VoteMate is made by one person
My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 23-year-old web developer from Vancouver.
I worked over 700 hours running VoteMate for this election. I volunteer all that time and pay for the site's expenses out of my own pocket because I believe it can help people vote. That matters to me.
