03 · Bring ID

What to bring

Bring one accepted document showing your name and qualifying address—for example, an Ontario driver’s licence, an Ontario photo card, a lease or rental agreement, a bank statement, or a utility bill. Check the City’s full list of acceptable ID before you go.

Your voter notification card can speed up check-in, but it does not replace ID. If you didn’t get a card, the City says you can still be added to the voters’ list when you vote in person if you’re eligible and show acceptable ID.
