To be eligible to vote in a Canadian federal election, you must be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a Canadian citizen<\/li>\n<li>at least 18 years old on election day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You must prove your identity and address to register and vote in a federal election. Registering is letting Elections Canada know who you are and where you live so that you are voting in the right riding, and you are only voting once. Soon after the election is called, Elections Canada will send you a voter information card in the mail that tells you when and where to vote. Unless you are not registered, or if your information (address) is wrong.\u00a0 If you voted in the last election and haven\u2019t moved since then, you\u2019re probably already registered. But if you\u2019ve moved, have never voted before, or are living away from home for school, your voter information could be out of date.<\/p>\n<p>You can save time on election day by making sure you\u2019re registered ahead of time or to update your address information: visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elections.ca\/content2.aspx?section=reg&amp;document=index&amp;lang=e\">www.elections.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to enter your name, birth date, and address. You will see a message that tells you if you are registered or not. If you are not registered, you can register online, by mail or in person.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elections.ca\/content2.aspx?section=spr&amp;dir=reg&amp;document=id_vot&amp;lang=e\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/oldsite.chha.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/election1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You may wonder what you need to prove your identity at the polling station.
