Residents looking to mark their ballots ahead of the Oct. 22 Toronto election will be able to vote at advance polls across the city beginning on Wednesday.
The City of Toronto will be holding five consecutive advance voting days in every ward across the city.
TORONTO ELECTION 2018: Who’s running for council, and how, where and when to vote
Residents can vote at one of two polling locations in each ward, or at Toronto city hall. Advanced voting day hours are between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The City of Toronto’s MyVote website allows residents to view a personalized list of candidates, a ward map, voting locations and the ability to check if you’re on the voters’ list.
In order to vote, residents must have Canadian citizenship and be at least 18 years old, a resident in Toronto (the only way you can vote as a non-resident of Toronto is if you or your spouse own or rent property in Toronto) and not prohibited from voting under law. Students or residents who are away during the voting period can appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf.
Voter information cards were mailed out on Sept. 19. The cards aren’t required to vote and can’t be used as the only piece of identification to vote.
Voters are required to show one piece of identification with a name and a Toronto address. Click here for a full list of acceptable pieces of identification. City staff said photo ID is not required.
Popular forms of identification include a driver’s licence, a photo ID card, a pay stub, a bank statement, a utility bill, or an Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program direct deposit statement.
