If you haven't already received your voter information card, it's likely on its way.
Registered Niagara electors for this year's municipal and school board election will receive voter information notices or cards in the mail telling them when and where to vote, including advanced polling dates and locations for most municipalities in Niagara.
For a seamless voting experience, it is recommended that the notices or cards be brought with you to your voting location, together with a piece of acceptable identification.
Many Niagara municipalities will use the unique barcode contained on each notice or card to efficiently issue the ballots.
If you do not receive a voter information notice or card, you can contact your municipality's Clerk's office to ensure you're on the voters' list and find out where you vote on Election Day.
In the absence of a voter information notice or card, provided you are in the correct polling location, if your name appears on the registered list, the following documents are some acceptable forms of identification:
For a full list of acceptable ID, visit Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
A Canadian passport is not an acceptable identification document because you write your address inside your passport yourself.
Advance polling sites permit voters to cast their ballots regardless of their Election Day polling station, but on October 22, you can only cast your ballot at the polling station indicated on the voter information notice or card. Electors are encouraged to check the voters’ list prior to October 22, to confirm the information is correct. You may be added to the voters’ list or amend your voter information up until the close of polls on October 22.
Should a postal disruption occur, and voter information notices or cards are not received, residents are encouraged to contact their municipality’s Clerk’s office
