In order to vote, you must be a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years old on election day. There are three options to prove your identity and address.
Option 1 - Show one of these pieces of ID
- Your driver's licence
- any other card issued by a Canadian government (federal, provincial/territorial, or local) with your photo, name, and current address
Option 2 - Show two pieces of ID
Both must have your name and at least one must have your current address. Examples include:
- voter information card and bank statement
- utility bill and student ID card

Option 3 - If you don't have ID
You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you. The voucher must be able to provide their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person, except in long-term care facilities.
