Where to vote and how to watch the 2021 federal election on P.E.I.
It's election day in Canada.
According to Elections Canada, 30,626 Islanders cast their ballots in the four days advance polling stations were open — a 16.83 per cent increase compared to the advance turnout in the 2019 federal election.
But many will 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.
To find out where to vote, Islanders can check their voter information card or head to Elections Canada's website.
A voter information card might make the process easier, but it's not required — as long as you have something proving your identity and a current address, like a government-issued ID, you can cast a ballot.
Here are the ways you can prove your identity and address.
