Guide for Canadian voters

The 2019 federal election will be held on Monday, October 21st. Polling stations will be open from 0930 to 2130, local time. If you are registered to vote, you should have received a voter identification card in the mail.

If you did not get a card, and are a Canadian citizen, you are still entitled to vote. Take two pieces of identification -- one of them, preferably, a government-issued photo ID such as a driver's licence -- to the nearest polling station to your place of residence, and they will register you, or direct you the proper station.

The Deputy Returning Officer at your polling station will give you a ballot paper, with the names and party affiliations of all the candidates in your electoral district. Here is a sample ballot.

Once you have marked your ballot, fold it up again in the same way as it was given to you. Take the ballot back to the Deputy Returning Officer, who will remove the counterfoil and then hand it back to you to be deposited in the ballot box.
