"We encourage electors to use our Online Voter Registration Service. By registering, checking and updating their information early, electors will be sure to get a voter information card. Because of the pandemic, we may be using non-traditional polling locations. The voter information card will give electors all the information they need to plan their safe voting experience," says Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault.
