1. Check to confirm that you are registered to vote 

If you’re a Canadian citizen aged 18 or over the most likely scenario is that you’re already registered. You can check to make sure here. 

You can register online or in-person before you vote or at the polling station when you go to vote. Either way, to register you will need ID and a proof of address. Here are the details on where to register and what to bring. 

2. Make a plan!
