Why we're asking you to spread the word

If we want to keep our democracy, we have to use it, even when what we're voting on is (seemingly) really small and local. Municipal elections have a pitifully low turnout... But you — and the people you know — can change that!

What to bring

If you're already registered, you don't need ID to vote.

If you're not sure if you're registered, bring ID anyways.
If you were registered under an old name or address (usually because you've moved or updated your name since), you will need ID.

Otherwise, you'll need to bring...

2 pieces of ID, proving who you are and where you live:

Both pieces must have your name on them
At least 1 piece should have your current residential address
At least 1 piece should have your signature

If neither piece of ID has your address, you may make a solemn declaration instead.

Be on the safe side: Bring extra ID if you can.

Examples of acceptable ID

BC Driver’s Licence
BC Identification Card
BC Services Card
ICBC Vehicle Insurance Document
BC Care Card
Ministry of Social Development and Economic Security Request for Continued Assistance Form SDES8
Social Insurance Number Card
Canadian Citizenship Card
Property Tax Notice
Credit card or debit card
Utility bill issued for the supply of electricity, natural gas, water, telephone services or cable services
Indian Status Card (a document, issued by the government of Canada, that certifies that the applicant is registered as an Indian under the Indian Act of Canada),
Citizenship or membership card issued by a first nation,
Citizenship card issued by Métis Nation British Columbia

My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 25-year-old web developer from Vancouver.

I worked over 400 hours running VoteMate for this election. I volunteer all that time and pay for the site's expenses out of my own pocket because I believe it can help people vote. That matters to me.
