Go online and try it out: www.edmonton.ca/election
Option 3: Special (Mail-in) Ballot
The final way to vote is intended for people who will be out of town on Election Day, who are unable to get to a voting station, or who are election and campaign workers. If you fall into one of these groups, you can request a Special (Mail-in) Ballot. Visit the Edmonton Elections website for more information and to apply: www.edmonton.ca/SpecialBallot
Required Identification
No matter the voting opportunity, you’ll need to present a piece of authorized identification that confirms both your name and residential address, like a Driver’s Licence. A bank statement, utility bill or personal cheque will also work! A passport, Alberta Health Care card, birth certificate or work/student ID will not be accepted.
