How do I vote?
Ontario residents can vote in person from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET at their assigned polling station, based on the location of their current residential address. To find your electoral district, enter your postal code on the Elections Ontario website.
Registered voters will need to bring one piece of ID with their name to the polling station. If you are not registered on the voters list, you will need to present one piece of ID showing both your name and current residential address to vote. The Elections Ontario website provides a list of ID requirements for both registered and non-registered voters.
