Heading to the polls today? Here’s what you need to know for election day:

Find out if you’re registered to vote:

Canadians citizens who are over 18 years old and who can prove their identity and home address are eligible to vote, but must be registered before casting a ballot.

If you’re registered to vote, Elections Canada mailed you a voter information card that you should have received by Oct. 1. If you did not receive the card, you can register at your polling station on election day.

If you’re not sure if you’re registered, you can check your status on the Elections Canada website or over the phone.

Find your riding:

Saskatchewan’s riding map looks much different now than in the 2011 federal election. The boundaries were redrawn two years ago to include urban-only ridings in Saskatoon and Regina.

The cities are now each split into three ridings. Saskatoon consists of Saskatoon West, Saskatoon-University and Saskatoon-Grasswood while Regina is divided into Regina-Lewvan, Regina-Qu’Appelle and Regina-Wascana.

To find your riding, visit the Elections Canada site and enter your postal code.

Know your candidates:

View our riding breakdowns for Saskatoon-Grasswood, Saskatoon-University and Saskatoon West to get a better look at the candidates in your area, and make sure to review where the federal parties stand on key issues important to you.

Teams at CTVNews.ca and The Canadian Press have compiled a comprehensive guide to Conservative Party, NDP, Liberal Party and Green Party stances on the election’s top issues.

Find out where and when to vote:

Elections Canada says some polling stations have moved since the 2011 election because of new riding boundaries.

Be sure to check where your polling station is located before heading out to vote. 

Your voter information card should state where your polling station is located, but you can also check online by typing in your postal code.

Saskatchewan polls will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on election day — Monday, Oct. 19.

Grab the right ID:

You must prove your identity and address when voting. 

You can do this by showing a driver’s licence, provincial or territorial identification card, or any government card displaying your photo, name and address; or you can show two pieces of ID, provided at least one shows your current address.

For instance, you can show your Canadian passport and a personal cheque. For a full list of IDs that Elections Canada considers valid, check their site.

Your voter information card is not a proper ID, but Elections Canada says the card will better streamline the voting process on election day. You are encouraged to bring the card with your identification.
