Plan a time to vote:

Are you registered to vote?

In Kamloops, you register when you vote.

We'll walk you through what ID you'll need to bring at the end of this guide!

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!

Your plan to vote

How

When

Where

What 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.

BC driver’s licence
BC identification card (BCID)
Photo BC Services card
Non-photo BC Services card
Car insurance papers

Citizenship Card issued by the Government of Canada
