Election Tomorrow

All Canadians:
(or at least all Canadian citizens, which isn’t quite the same thing)
There is an election Monday, October 21st. That’s tomorrow. You need to vote.
If you received a voter card, it will have your poll location on it. If you did not, you can find the location HERE (français). Elections Canada does not call voters - if someone called you to say the time or location has changed, that’s fraud. Check the website for accurate information.
In order to vote you need EITHER a driver’s license or provincial ID card OR two pieces of ID, one of which has your current address. A letter from your University or residence counts. (Proof of address is more important than proof of citizenship.) The full list of ID accepted is HERE (français).
If you didn’t receive a voter information card, you may not be registered to vote. But that’s okay!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO VOTE IN CANADA.
You can register at the poll station on Election Day. It’s not hard and it doesn’t take very long, and you don’t need extra ID.
Voting is quick and usually simple. If you’re very worried about crowds or waiting in line, it’s usually best to show up early in the day. Polling hours depend on your province (français), but all polls are open until at least 7:00 pm, usually later. Your employer is required to give you time off to vote (français) if you need it.
Information for voters with disabilities is HERE (français). If you have feedback on accessibility, there will be forms you can fill out at your polling station.
Here's the acceptable ID list again (français).
EVERYONE GO VOTE.
