Voters are encouraged to find out if they are on the voters’ list. Learn where and when to vote. View, download or print their Voter Information Card (if on the voters’ list). Check the candidates running. Find accessibility information about their voting place and review a sample of the ballot.
Eligible voters are also reminded to bring identification that shows their name and qualifying Toronto address and their Voter Information Card (VIC) when they go to vote. If an eligible voter on the voters’ list does not receive a VIC by mail, they can visit MyVote to print a VIC or download a digital copy to their smartphone, which can be shown at the voting location, along with acceptable identification. A VIC is not required to vote.
Eligible voters who are not on the voters’ list can add their name to the list at their voting location on election day. Voters can search their address using MyVote to find their election day voting location.
