Do i have to vote at my designated voting spot if I have that card they mailed? For example I live in Toronto but the government thinks I live in Aurora and I dont want to go all the way there to vote. (I didnt change my address because I am living at a temporary place)

Done my part on Friday, so did my parents. We arrived separately but ended up meeting each other at the polling place at the same time.

Will do the day of. Too all over the place to be doing it early, but it's nice to see all the advanced voter numbers increasing. Hopefully it means increased participation from all.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!

Oh boy I just checked 338canada and I didn't know Davenport was a toss-up. I have seen a LOT of NDP signs in the area but I didn't know they were projected to slightly win at the moment.

It certainly keeps things more interested when you live in a riding like this.

Someone from EC made a big deal on one of the morning shows last week about just showing bank and credit card statements on your phone as ID to vote. We don't have stupid voting laws like in some parts of the US.

Looking at the big list of accepted IDs, it seems like basically anything with your name on it is good enough. You can head to the polls with a library card and your phone bill if you want.

I voted between classes back on the 8th but it was a ballot I haven't seen before, rather than a simple check box it was just a blank line where I wrote in the name of the candidate I was voting for. What determines the type of ballot that is used?

That's called voting by special ballot. They use those ballots if you vote at an election Canada office or by mail. Useful for cases like me where I am overseas for the duration of the advanced polls / election days and needed to vote before the normal ballots were even printed.

And done.

I couldn't remember the name of my MP so I decided to vote for the People's Party person. They're for the people, that's nice.

I recently moved and I'm still waiting for my voter card unfortunately. But I walked with my parents to their voting place and they voted NDP. They aren't really NDP voters normally but they don't Halifax to stay Liberal.
