In Canada, you can vote in federal elections at the following locations:
- Your assigned polling station on election day : The specific date, hours, and address of your polling station are available on your voter information card or through Elections Canada's Voter Information Service. You must be registered and bring proof of identity and address. If you are not registered, you can register at the polling station when you go to vote
- Advance polling stations : These are open on specific days before election day (usually 10th to 7th day before). The location and hours are also provided on your voter card or online. Same registration and ID requirements apply
- Any Elections Canada office across the country : You can vote early in person at these offices until about six days before election day. You need to complete an application for registration and special ballot and show ID. You can vote on the spot or return later to submit your ballot
- By mail (special ballot) : If you applied before the deadline, you can vote by mail using a special ballot kit provided by Elections Canada
To find your specific polling location, use the Elections Canada Voter Information Service online or call 1-800-463-6868. Bring your voter information card and acceptable government-issued ID when you go to vote
. In summary, the main places to vote are your assigned polling station on election day or advance polling days, any Elections Canada office for early voting, or by mail if you applied for a special ballot
