Did you know that Canadian law allows all voters three consecutive hours to cast their vote on election day? This means that if you are scheduled to work on election day, your employer must ensure that you have three hours when the polls are open to cast your vote. They may decide which three hours you can vote, but they cannot deduct any pay for this time period.

Below are some frequently asked questions about voting in the federal election. All information is provided by and linked to Elections Canada.

How vote by mail works

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.
