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!
Your plan to vote
How
When
Where
What to bring
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.

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.
