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
- Driver’s licence
- B.C. Identification Card (issued by ICBC)
