How to Vote

VOTE using the INTERNET or TELEPHONE
(June 20th at 10:00 a.m. through to June 26th at 8:00 p.m.)


Eligibe electors will receive a Voter Information Letter by Mail.  These are currently scheduled to be sent to Canada Post by our Third Party provider (Intelivote) on June 6, 2025.  If a Canada Post strike takes place, during this time, further information on the process will be communicated.

The Voter Information Letter is only intended for the person it is addressed to.  If you are not an eligible elector and receive a letter, please contact the election help line at 1-800-928-2250 and speak to an election official.

The Voter Information Letter will contain all of the information required for you to either use the internet for voting or to use your telephone.  It will also include a specific PIN - Personal Identification Number, that is specific to the elector.  Do not share your PIN.  

Using your PIN (found on the Voter Information Letter mailed to your home)
and Date of Birth,
vote by INTERNET or TELEPHONE anytime from
Friday, June 20th starting at 10:00 a.m. until  ending Thursday, June 26th at 8:00 p.m.
Please follow the instructions on your Voter Information Letter carefully.

If using Telephone Voting, please listen carefully to the instructions.
A unique website address and a unique phone number will be provided within the Voter Information Letter.
If you are voting by internet, type the website address at the top of your browser, not in the search bar.
