Municipal elections across the province are taking place Wednesday, and Saskatoon residents are set to vote for the city’s next mayor, council and school board trustees.

If you missed the advanced polls, here’s what you need to know to mark your ballot:

When you can vote

Polls are open Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Where you can vote

Voters must cast their ballot within their wards and at their assigned polling station. To find out where your poll is located, visit the city’s online poll finder and type in your address.

If you require an AutoMARK Voter Assist Terminal, which helps voters who are visually impaired or who have physical impairments hindering their ability to mark a ballot, one will be available on the day of the election at the Frances Morrison Central Library.

If you’re eligible to vote

Canadian citizens who are at least 18 years old and who are residents of Saskatoon for at least three consecutive months and residents of Saskatchewan for at least six consecutive months immediately prior to election day are eligible to vote.

People who do not live in Saskatoon but own property in the city for at least three months immediately before the election may vote once in the mayoral and councillor elections, but not the school board elections.

Anyone hoping to vote in the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools election must be of the Roman Catholic faith.

What identification you need to vote

All voters must provide identification when voting. You have three options when proving your identity:

  • You can provide one piece of government-issued ID — such as a Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence — if it includes your photo, name and address.
  • You can provide two pieces of information if both contain your name and at least one contains you address. For example, a utility bill issued within the last six months or a credit card statement can be used.
  • You can also have another voter with acceptable ID vouch for you if you do not have proper identification. The voucher must be entitled to vote in Saskatoon – or the same municipality as you — and must fill out a form at the polling station.

You will be given a single ballot for all races — for mayor, for your ward’s councillor and for your ward’s school board trustee. To vote, fill the ballot out inside a voting booth.

A voters list does not exist for the municipal election.
