Why we're asking you to spread the word

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.
