How and where to vote on P.E.I. and how to watch the 2025 federal election results
Polling stations on P.E.I. will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. AT
It's election day across Canada, and polls on Prince Edward Island will be open as of 8:30 a.m. AT.
According to Elections Canada, there are 127,105 eligible voters on P.E.I., and 122,731 of them were on the registered voters list as of last week.
A total of 40,015 Islanders cast ballots in the four days that advance polling stations were open over the Easter weekend — a 41.27 per cent increase from 28,324 valid advance votes cast in 2021.
That leaves tens of thousands of Islanders to head to the polls today for their last chance to cast a ballot.
How and where to vote
Polling stations on P.E.I. will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. AT
To find out where they should vote according to their street address, Islanders can check the Voter Information Card they received in the mail or head to Elections Canada's website.
A Voter Information Card might make the process easier once you get to the polling station, but it's not required. As long as you have something proving your identity and a current address, such as a government-issued ID, you can cast a ballot.
Here are the ways you can prove your identity and address.
