Voting's a lot more fun with a friend!

Tell your friends that you're a voter

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...

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

Examples of ID that will establish your identity: Driver’s Licence, BC ID, MSP card, SIN card, credit card
Examples of ID that will establish your place of residence: Driver’s Licence, BC ID, telephone bill, hydro bill, personalized cheque

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.
