Eligibility to vote in Sep 20 election

[rajkamalmohanram]

I mean I didn’t expect there to be a federal election until 2023 so I wasn’t really rushing lol. And I was aware I could register at the poll on election day, having processed new voters myself as a volunteer.

(But yeah, you’d need proof like a citizenship certificate/card or passport.)

Just so much easier if you get the voter’s information card in the mail.

May be they'll email the voter information card now because of COVID? Not sure. I'll register on 23rd August after oath. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens after that.

I didn’t even have to provide my citizenship certificate or number while registering online. Just had to upload my driver’a license. Maybe they have linked it back to my citizenship number. Don’t know.

not sure if this is the right thread to ask this but would the snap election in September slow the processing of citizenship applications? in my case, Oath ceremony status is (not started) and it's in the Halifax NS office..

I suppose you should be able to. You'd have to register immediately after taking oath in order to be able to vote in the federal election.

Currently, online registration for voting is disabled. I hope they bring it back soon.

I provided 3 pieces of proof (DL + Health Card + Utility Bill) .

You don't need the citizenship certificate number to register to vote. Your DL and other documents should suffice.
