VOTER’S GUIDE

Who can vote?

You are eligible to vote if you are at least 18 years old; are a Canadian citizen; have resided in Alberta since April 16, 2017; and are a resident of the City of Calgary (for mayor and councillor) or the Calgary Board of Education (for public school trustee) or the Calgary Catholic School Division (for separate school trustee).

Where to vote?

Voting stations are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. You must vote at the designated voting station for the voting subdivision in which you live. You can visit calgary.ca/election, click ‘Find my Voting Station’ and enter your home address to find where to vote. Deputies will go bed-to-bed in hospitals so that eligible electors there can vote. Voting stations will also be located at care facilities.

What to bring?

Voters must present one official form of identification that includes their name and current address to vote. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver’s licence, Alberta Identification Card, a bank or credit card statement, utility bill, a residential lease or mortgage statement, correspondence issued by a post-secondary institution, etc.

How do the ward boundary changes affect this election?

The new ward boundaries mean 58 Calgary communities will now be in different wards. If you are in one of the affected communities, you will vote in a different ward than during the 2013 election. It’s possible you will also vote at a different designated voting station.
