What to bring

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

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

Your Nova Scotia Identification Card with your current address.

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.

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.
