Revision of Lists of Electors Begins
Electors in Calgary Heritage, Calgary Midnapore,
Markham–Thornhill, Ottawa–Vanier and Saint-Laurent can register, or
check or update their voter registration online
Gatineau, Wednesday, March 1, 2017
- Elections Canada has started revising the preliminary lists of electors for all polling divisions in Calgary Heritage (Alberta), Calgary Midnapore (Alberta), Markham–Thornhill (Ontario), Ottawa–Vanier (Ontario) and Saint-Laurent (Quebec). Preliminary lists of electors are produced using information contained in the National Register of Electors.
- To vote in a federal by-election, electors must be registered at their current address.
- Election workers will conduct door-to-door targeted revision in areas where mobility is high and registration levels are low. If no one is home, the workers will leave behind a registration kit that explains how to register.
- Electors can use Elections Canada's Online Voter Registration Service to register, to check if they are registered, or to update their address.
- Elections Canada will mail a personalized voter information card to each registered elector in electoral districts where a by-election is taking place. Cards should arrive between Wednesday, March 15, and Wednesday, March 22.
Elections Canada is an independent body set up by Parliament.
