Why we're asking you to spread the word
If we want to keep our democracy, we have to use it, even when what we're voting on is (seemingly) really small and local. Municipal elections have a pitifully low turnout... But you — and the people you know — can change that!

What to bring
If you're already registered, you don't need ID to vote.

- Both pieces must have your name on them
- At least 1 piece should have your current residential address
- At least 1 piece should have your signature
If neither piece of ID has your address, you may make a solemn declaration instead.
Be on the safe side: Bring extra ID if you can.

My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 25-year-old web developer from Vancouver.
I worked over 400 hours running VoteMate for this election. I volunteer all that time and pay for the site's expenses out of my own pocket because I believe it can help people vote. That matters to me.
