Frequently asked questions about voting in a provincial election
A provincial general election has been called. Election day is February 27. Use Voter Registration to update or add your voter information by February 17. Voter information cards will be mailed out between February 17 and 22. Your voter information card will contain information about when and where to vote.
If you are eligible to vote in a provincial election, you can vote:
- at your local election office; or
- during advance voting; or
- at the voting location on election day; or
- by mail; or
- by home visit or hospital visit
You can use our Voter Information Service to find your voting locations.
If you are on the Register, you need to present one piece of ID showing your name to vote. If you are not on the Register, you must present one piece of ID showing both your name and home address to vote.

If you are unable to vote in person at your local election office, advance voting location or at your assigned location on election day, you can apply to vote by mail or request a home visit.
We strive to make voting accessible to all voters. Services for accessible voting include assistive voting technology, assistance at voting locations, and voting by mail or home visit.

If you do not have a permanent address you can still vote during a by-election or general election. The place where you have returned to most often to eat or sleep in the past five weeks is considered to be your address.
If you do not have ID showing both your name and home address, the administrator of your shelter, food bank, or community health care facility that you use most often will provide you with a Certificate of Identity and Residence form.
