U of T, did you know you can vote on campus in the upcoming federal election regardless of where you live? No need to travel home to vote!
(First off, check if you are registered to vote. If not, find more information on doing so here.)
As the Elections Canada website states,
- Advanced polling offices will be open Monday, October 5 to Thursday, October 8.
- Anyone can use these offices, even if they are temporarily away from their riding (for example, an eligible voter who has moved to a new city to attend university or a student from a different campus).
- Voting will be by special ballot. Votes will count in the riding where the voter’s home address is located.
At the St. George Campus your poll locations are:
| University of Toronto | Graduate Student Union Gym and Records Room 16 Bancroft Avenue Toronto, ON M5S 1C1 |
10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. |
| University of Toronto | University—Rosedale Returning Office 316 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON M5S 1W5 |
10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. |
To vote, you must provide identification showing your home address. Find the full list of accepted documentation here.
As for students living on residence:
- You can prove your identity with your student ID card.
- You can prove your address with any document issued by your school that shows your home address.
- Ask the residence administrator for a Letter of Confirmation of Residence that says you live there. You can use it to prove your address.
- Happy voting!
