4 Ways to vote in Canada elections

Housing, high cost of living, and health are some of the top issues facing Canadians as they head to the polls on September 20.

Here are 4 ways you can vote and make your voice heard:

1. Vote on advance polling days

You can vote in advance at your assigned polling station from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on:

  • Friday, September 10;
  • Saturday, September 11;
  • Sunday, September 12;
  • Monday, September 13.

To find your assigned polling station, check your voter information card or use the Voter Information Service at Canada Elections.

2. Vote by mail

Step 1:

Apply to vote by mail as soon as possible. You can apply online or by contacting any Elections Canada office across Canada before Tuesday, September 14, 6:00 p.m

Step 2:

Elections Canada will mail you a voting kit. When you decide on the candidate you want to vote for, write the name of the candidate on your ballot.

Step 3:

Mail your completed ballot back. Do note that deadlines apply!
