Vouching

The province has introduced significant changes to the rules for vouching. An individual vouching is now only allowed to validate another person’s address and not their identity. Due to this change, all voters require valid identification.

An individual can have another registered voter vouch for them if:

• The individual requesting shows valid identification
• The individual requesting submits a statement by filling out the required form provided at the Voting Station.
• The individual requesting is accompanied by another voter who can validate their current address.
• This voter that is validating an address must be a registered voter on the permanent electors register.
• An elector may vouch for more than one person if every person the elector vouches for shares the same place of residence.
• Scrutineers may not vouch for any person.
