What to bring

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

  • If you're not sure if you're registered, bring ID anyways.
  • If you were registered under an old name or address (usually because you've moved or updated your name since), you will need ID.

Otherwise, you'll need to bring one of the following:

Your Nova Scotia Driver's License with your current address.

Your Nova Scotia Identification Card with your current address.

Your Certificate of Indian Status Card.

Two documents, both with your name and at least one with your current address.

If you don't have ID, you can take an oath instead.

Be on the safe side: Bring extra ID if you can.

My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 23-year-old web developer from Vancouver.

I worked over 100 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.
