Voting Day – Monday April 28, 2025

On Monday, April 28, 2025, Canadians will head to the polls to vote in the federal election. In order to vote, you must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old on election day, and able to prove your identity and address. If you are not already registered to vote, you can register either ahead of time or directly at your polling station when you go to vote.

There are several ways to vote. You can vote in person at your assigned polling station on election day, vote at advance polls if you prefer to vote early, or vote at any Elections Canada office before election day. Voting by mail is also an option, but an application must be submitted ahead of time.

If you are registered, Elections Canada will send you a voter information card by mail. This card provides important information about where and when to vote. If you do not receive a card, you can check your registration and polling location through Elections Canada’s online Voter Information Service.

When you go to vote, you must bring identification to prove both your name and address. Accepted forms include a driver’s license or a combination of two documents such as a health card and a utility bill. If you do not have proper ID, you may still vote if someone assigned to your polling station vouches for you.
