We are committed to including all voters in the voting process. Our voters include those with disabilities, first-time voters, older voters, or anyone who simply needs more time or assistance to cast their ballot. We want everyone to have a voting experience that is accessible, fast, and easy.
Voter registration
Early registration is now closed. Any voter can who is not registered is still free to register in person while voting.
Voting in person
We are removing barriers to voting and making it easier for all voters to participate in the 2024 Provincial Election. Every voting location is reviewed for the building’s accessibility and, where necessary, every effort is made to provide temporary accommodations to increase accessibility.
When voting in person, voters can:
- Bring a device: Voters may use a personal device as a piece of assistive technology to help them vote, including for translation purposes.
- Bring a service animal: All voting locations are open to service animals that accompany voters.
- Use big pencils: Large grip pencils are available for voters to use and are easier to hold when marking a ballot.
- Ask for help: If you require assistance marking your ballot, you can either bring a friend or a deputy returning officer can assist.
Other ways to vote
Voting in person is not the only way to cast your vote. We offer the following ways to vote to ensure that everyone can participate in an election:
- Vote by mail: If a voter applies to vote by mail, a voting kit will be mailed to their address once an election begins. Note the vote by mail application deadline was October 19. A voter’s only option now is to vote in person during Voting Week.
- Curbside voting: For voters who may not be able to enter a voting location, the ballot box can be brought to the curb outside of the building.
- Homebound voting: Voters who are unable to leave their home can contact their returning office to make an appointment for election workers to bring a ballot to them. Note the homebound voting application deadline was October 19.
- Personal Care Facilities and Hospitals: Some voters will be able to vote in the building where they live or are staying, like personal care facilities and hospitals. A team of election workers will visit these buildings on election day and assist residents who wish to vote. Posters will be put up in advance to confirm what time the election workers will be on site.
