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!

Your plan to vote

How

When

Where

What to bring

Your voter card and 1 piece of acceptable ID.

Didn't get your voter card in the mail? You can still vote with ID.

or...

If you're registered to vote:

1 piece of acceptable ID with your name.

The Surrey Elections Office recommends that you bring additional ID proving your residential address and signature, just in case it turns out you're not registered or your registration needs to be updated.

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

British Columbia Driver's Licence
BC Services Card or Driver's Licence
Owner’s Certificate of Insurance and Vehicle Licence issued by ICBC
Canadian Passport or Citizenship Card issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Social Insurance Number card issued by the Government of Canada
