2024 /CNW/ -
- Electors in Toronto–St. Paul's (Ontario) are heading to the polls
today.
- Electors must vote at their assigned polling station. To find
out where to vote, electors can check their voter information card,
visit elections.ca or call 1-800-463-6868.
- Electors who have not received a voter information card can
find their voting location by visiting elections.ca and entering
their postal code in the Voter Information Service box.
- To vote, electors must be registered. Electors who are not
registered can register at their polling station when they go to
vote. Unregistered electors can enter their information
online, print a pre-filled registration certificate and bring it
with them for faster service at the polls.
- To make the voting process easier, electors should bring their
voter information card, along with accepted ID, when they go to
their polling station. Electors must prove their identity and

should avoid peak times, such as the opening of the polls in the
morning and dinnertime in the evening.

and who have not yet mailed back their completed ballot must return
it in person at the local Elections Canada office; they have until
polls close in Toronto–St. Paul's to do so. Special ballots
received after polls have closed cannot be counted.
- Preliminary results of the election will be published on
elections.ca as soon as they become available.
