Voting in the Election | Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need identification to vote?

In order to vote, you must produce one piece of authorized identification that establishes both your name and current residential address.

Examples of authorized identification include:

  • Alberta Driver’s Licence
  • Alberta Identification Card
  • Bank/credit card statement or personal cheque
  • Income/property tax assessment notice
  • Insurance policy or coverage card
  • Statement of government benefits (such as employment insurance, old-age security or social assistance)

This is in accordance with Section 53(1) of the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA) and Section 95(1)(a)(ii) of the Election Act (EA).

Do I have to be on a voters list or a permanent electors list to vote?

There is no voters list nor permanent electors list for the Edmonton Election. Voters must provide authorized identification at a voting station, such as an Alberta Driver's Licence or an Alberta Identification Card.

Instead, voters are required to fill out Form 13 Elector Register when they attend a voting station to confirm they meet the qualifications required to vote.

Is Edmonton Elections working to develop a voters list or a permanent electors list to vote?

Developing and maintaining a voters list or permanent electors list requires both an initial investment and ongoing resources to ensure the list remains accurate and usable. It is anticipated that this list would lengthen the election planning process for future elections.

After the 2021 Edmonton Election is completed, including receipt of all disclosure statements and required reporting, Edmonton Elections will bring a report to Council in spring 2022 with a further analysis of the options Edmonton Elections is considering to develop a permanent electors list.

Section 49 of the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA) outlines more details on the creation and maintenance of a voters list or permanent electors list.

More information can be found in the Council memo.
