Hi Friend,
Have you made your plan to vote? We encourage voting early at advance
polls, from September 10 to 13. Or you can vote on election day, September
20.
But this year, if voting by mail is the best option for you, we're here to
help and to highlight some important dates. WE RECOMMEND YOU START THE
PROCESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
If you want to go straight to the source, Elections Canada [1] has all the
information on its website or you can call 1-800-463-6868. But we'll break
down the three step process here:
STEP 1: APPLY TO VOTE BY MAIL BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.
Submit your online application here [2]! If you apply online, the deadline
is 6 p.m. EST. If you apply in person at an Elections Canada office, the
deadline is 6 p.m. local time.
STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE.
When you receive your mail-in ballot, READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS. Write
the first and last name of your chosen candidate on the ballot. You can
find your Green candidate here [3].
STEP 3: RETURN YOUR BALLOT.
If the enclosed mail-in ballot return envelope has a return address in
Ottawa, Elections Canada needs to receive your ballot by 6 p.m. EST on
Monday, September 20, 6 p.m. EST.
If the return address is the Elections Canada office in your riding, that
office needs to receive your ballot by the time the polls close in your
area on Monday, September 20.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU RETURN YOUR BALLOT WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR IT TO
REACH ITS DESTINATION BEFORE THE POLLS CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 20. You can use
the Canada Post calculator [4] to estimate the amount of time your envelope
will take to reach its destination. Remember that there could be some
delays because Elections Canada is expecting a lot more mail-in ballots
this year.
We hope this helps you understand voting by mail! If you still have
questions, you can call Elections Canada. They are happy to provide any and
all information in both official languages. Good luck, and we wish you
happy - and safe - voting!
