Edmontonians have one more chance to cast their ballot for the 2021 Edmonton Election on Monday, October 18 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. The Advance Vote period officially ended with over 127,000 ballots cast by over 63,500 voters. For comparison, there were over 23,000 voters during the same period in 2017.
Where to vote
There are 212 voting stations located across the city. Voters are encouraged to check out
edmonton.ca/wheretovote to find their voting station. Once stations open, the newly launched wait-time feature will help voters plan ahead by providing an estimate of wait times at voting stations. Voters are reminded that the voting experience will be different due to the addition of the provincial ballot and COVID-19 safety measures like enhanced sanitization, plexiglass barriers and physical distancing. As a result, voting might take longer than in the past.
Services
Printed voting instructions are available in
13 languages at all voting stations. Voters from any ward who may require additional assistance are encouraged to visit the centrally located voting station in City Hall. An Automark ballot marking device that enables voters with visual or physical disabilities to view and mark their ballots independently and a hearing loop system that assists voters who use hearing aids will be available at this location. Free parking is available in the City Hall Parkade on Election Day.
What to bring
Voters must bring
acceptable identification with their name and residential address. Examples include an Alberta Driver’s License or Alberta Identification Card. Electronic or printed bills to provide proof of current residential address are also accepted. Masks are also mandatory as per current public health measures.
Who can vote
Edmontonians are eligible to vote if they are at least 18 years old, a Canadian citizen and a resident of Edmonton on Election Day.
Getting there
Voting stations are located in neighbourhoods and can be easily accessed by all modes of transportation. In addition, Edmonton Transit Service will suspend transit fare collection on Election Day to make access to voting stations more convenient for Edmontonians.
