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 one of the following:

1 piece of government-issued photo ID showing both your name and current address.

2 pieces of ID with your full name, one of them with your current address.

Have your identify confirmed by an Election Official. A Special Ballot Officer, Deputy Returning Officer, Poll Clerk, Returning Officer, or Election Clerk working at a polling station or Returning Office can confirm your identity.

Have someone who knows you attest to your current address; that person will have to provide ID proving their own identity and address, and can only attest for one person.

Complete an affidavit attesting to your identity, signed by an official such as a Judge, Barrister, Justice of the Peace, or Commissioner for Oaths.

Be on the safe side: Bring extra ID if you can.

Examples of acceptable ID

One piece of government-issued photo ID:
- Driver's license
- Any other government-issued ID with your photo, name, and current address
ID with your name and/or address:
- Health card
- Canadian passport
- Birth certificate
- Certificate of Canadian citizenship
- Citizenship card
- Social insurance number card
- Old age security card
- Hospital card
- Label on a prescription container
- Identity bracelet issued by a hospital or long-term care facility
- Blood donor card
- Student identity card
- Public transportation card
- Library card
- Utility bill
- Bank statement
- Personal cheque
- Government cheque/cheque stub or pension plan statement
- Residential lease or sub-lease
- Mortgage contract or statement
- Income tax assessment
- Property tax assessment or evaluation
- Vehicle ownership, insurance certificate, policy or statement
- Letter of confirmation of residence, letter of stay, admission form, or statement of benefits from a student residence, seniors' residence, or long-term care facility

VoteMate is made by one person

My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 24-year-old web developer from Vancouver.

I worked over 200 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.

Did VoteMate help you? Help me make it better!
