Canadian elections and their process [View all]

http://www.elections.ca/home.aspx


Different ways you can vote.
You can vote on the day, October 19th
Polls are open for 12 hours.

If you're registered, you will get a voter information card by mail. It tells you when and where to vote. You should have received it by October 1. You can also use the online Voter Information Service to find out where to vote.



They have what is called advanced polls where you can vote from the 9th through the 12th.
There are four advance voting days. Polls are open from noon to 8:00 p.m.

Friday, October 9
Saturday, October 10
Sunday, October 11
Monday, October 12
Your voter information card tells you the address of your advance polling place. You can also find it in the Voter Information Service.


Or any office!!
Vote at one of 400 Elections Canada offices

If you find it more convenient, you can vote at any Elections Canada office across Canada.

Visit the office before the deadline of Tuesday, October 13 at 6:00 p.m. Offices are open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., except for Saturday, October 17, when they will be opened from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Bring your proof of identity and address.

Find the Elections Canada office nearest you.



or you can vote by mail.
If you will be travelling outside your riding, or if you find it more convenient, you can vote by mail – apply now.

Apply as soon as possible, to allow time for your voting kit to reach you and for your marked ballot to reach Elections Canada by election day.



I get the feeling that the country of Canada thinks it is a good thing to have it's citizens actually vote.

Damn, they are serious about this thing. Oh and Huff Canada is saying that the voting so far is off the hook. Harper is probably long gone.
