As millions prepare to vote, here's what you need to know about the polling process in Canada.
First, locate your polling station by visiting Canada's election website or by calling the toll-free number 1-800-463-6868. Polling places will operate for 12 hours, with hours varying by time zone; for instance, in the Pacific time zone, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., while in Eastern time, they are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
If you find yourself in line when polling closes, don't worry—you will still be allowed to vote. Make sure to bring your voter card, which you should have received by mail, along with an acceptable form of ID that confirms your identity. If you haven't registered in advance, registration can still be completed at your polling location. Just present an ID that shows your current address along with any documents to verify a recent change of residence.
As Canada approaches this pivotal moment, every vote matters. Happy voting!
