All eligible voters will be able to cast ballots, no matter where they live in BC.

It isn’t just travelers who will benefit.

Airport employees and residents of nearby subdivisions will also be able to vote in the terminal.

As is the case with all advance polls, voters must provide proof of identity to receive a ballot.

It will be the only airport in BC, the first ever in Canada, to host an advance voting location for a provincial or federal election.

Voters will be able to park in the short term lot for up to two hours free of charge. Parking vouchers will be validated at the polling station.
