It is your responsibility to ensure your name is on the Voters’ List and that your personal information is correct to ensure you receive a complete and correct Voter Information Letter.

Proof of identity and residence is required to show you are qualified to vote. You will need to complete the appropriate form and you will then be provided with a Voter Information Letter.

If I haven’t registered before Election Day and I’m not on the Voters’ List, can I still vote?
