Electors Can Register at the Polls

GATINEAU, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 15, 2015) -

Electors who are not registered can still vote in the October 19 federal election. They can register at their polling place on election day.

• To find their polling place, all electors need to do is enter their postal code online or call 1-800-463-6868.
• Unregistered electors who can do so are invited to enter their information online, print a registration certificate and bring it with them for faster service at the polls.
• To register and vote, electors must prove their identity and address. The list of accepted pieces of identification is available online.
• Some identification pieces used at provincial and municipal elections may not meet federal election requirements.

"Voters have a wide range of options to prove their identity and address at the polls," says Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand. "They may use their driver's licence or a combination of pieces of ID. I encourage voters to check our website for the full list of accepted pieces of ID to ensure they have what they need to vote."
