Plan a time to vote:

Are you registered to vote?

If you're not registered, don't remember registering, or are registered at an old address, you can still register at the polls.

I've already registered I'll register at the polls

Are your friends voting?

Help spread a little democracy! Do one of the following:

Ask 3 friends if they're planning to vote

If they don't have a plan, or don't know their options, tell them to visit vote.NewMajority.ca!

Plan to go vote with a friend

Voting's a lot more fun with a friend!

Tell your friends that you're a voter

Why we're asking you to spread the word

If we want to keep our democracy, we have to use it, even when what we're voting on is (seemingly) really small and local. Municipal elections have a pitifully low turnout... But you — and the people you know — can change that!

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...

2 pieces of ID, proving who you are and where you live:

Both pieces must have your name on them
At least 1 piece should have your current residential address
At least 1 piece should have your signature

If neither piece of ID has your address, you may make a solemn declaration instead.

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

Examples of acceptable ID

BC Driver's Licence
BC Identification Card
BC Services Card
ICBC Registration
Citizenship Card
Social Insurance Number (SIN)
property tax notice
credit card or debit card
utility bill
