How to vote in Thunder Bay's municipal election

Here's a primer for voters with questions about how, when and where they can cast their ballot in today's municipal election.

Today is election day. Polls open at 10 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

Who can vote? To qualify you must be:

• A Canadian citizen
• At least 18 years of age on voting day
• Residing in the city of Thunder Bay, or the owner or tenant of land here, or the spouse of such a person (includes students at Lakehead University and Confederation College)

Am I on the voters list? The city has a handy website for this. Put in your name and address and it will verify if you are on the voters list. 

If I'm not on the voters list and I don't have a Voter Information Card, can I still vote?

Yes. You can register on the city's website, or go to a polling station and present ID and sign a form with the registration clerk.

If you need extra help voting, you can obtain a form and appoint a proxy to vote for you.
