Revision of Lists of Electors Begins

GATINEAU, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - March 1, 2017) -

• Elections Canada has started revising the preliminary lists of electors for all polling divisions in Calgary Heritage (Alberta), Calgary Midnapore (Alberta), Markham-Thornhill (Ontario), Ottawa-Vanier (Ontario) and Saint-Laurent (Quebec). Preliminary lists of electors are produced using information contained in the National Register of Electors.
• To vote in a federal by-election, electors must be registered at their current address.
• Election workers will conduct door-to-door targeted revision in areas where mobility is high and registration levels are low. If no one is home, the workers will leave behind a registration kit that explains how to register.
• Electors can use Elections Canada's Online Voter Registration Service to register, to check if they are registered, or to update their address.
• Elections Canada will mail a personalized voter information card to each registered elector in electoral districts where a by-election is taking place. Cards should arrive between Wednesday, March 15, and Wednesday, March 22.

Ready to vote.

Elections Canada is an independent body set up by Parliament.
