When is the next election?
Choose the election level and location; distinguish the general election from a local by-election.
Elections & voting
Find the right election, date and voting instructions. Federal, provincial or territorial, and municipal elections have separate authorities. A scheduled date is not a guarantee against an earlier election.
Choose the right starting point
Where can I vote?
Use the current election’s official polling-place lookup.
How do I prepare?
Check registration, identification, accessibility and available voting methods.
