In order to vote, you must produce identification for inspection. The identification must be one or more piece(s) of government-issued identification containing the elector’s photograph, address and name as required by Section 53 of the Local Authorities Elections Act. This includes an Operator’s (Driver’s) license or an Alberta Identification card.
A detailed list of authorized identification is available for information at the local school office or online at https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/1f4ebb64-0ba5-460d-ac43-9f8e59128d7d/resource/6d251d53-42c0-4b0d-afcb-6457fdf9ea0f/download/ma-local-elections-voter-id-2020-07.pdf.
In addition, if your government-issued identification has a box number as your address you must produce a second document that contains your civic and/or legal land address.
If you are unable to provide any identification, or cannot confirm your current physical address, you can be vouched for by another registered elector in your polling subdivision.
A person is eligible to vote if the person:
- is at least 18 years old,
- is a Canadian citizen, and
- resides in Alberta and the person’s place of residence is located in the local jurisdiction on election day.
