Here are the different ways to vote in the Canadian election
Global News
Many Canadians will vote on election day at their polling station, but there's other ways to cast your ballot before April 28, including if you live abroad.
Canadians will head to the polls on April 28, and while many will cast a ballot that day, there are other options, including earlier voting.
The election was called on March 23, and the first thing Canadians who plan to vote should do is check to see if they’re registered to do so.
Most Canadian citizens 18 years and older are eligible to vote and, according to Elections Canada, are already in the National Register of Electors.
But if you want to make sure that you get a voter information card in the mail, you can check the online voter registration service, call 1-800-463-6868 or visit an Elections Canada office near you.
Just make sure to have an accepted form of identification and address to do so.
If you’re not registered but are eligible to vote, you can register online or at one of the offices. However, Elections Canada also makes it easy to register when you go to your polling station to vote.
You’ll get your voter information card by April 11 if registered, but you can contact the agency online or by phone if you haven’t received it by this time.
“The easiest and best way for people to find out where, how and when they can vote is to visit our website,” a spokesperson for Elections Canada said.
