Albertans head to the polls on May 29th, and this week, households across the province will begin receiving information in their mailboxes from Elections Alberta on registering to vote in the upcoming Election.
Electors are encouraged to register or update their information at www.voterlink.ab.ca., or by calling the Provincial Contact Centre at 1.877.422.8683. The Contact Centre is available from 8:15 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends.
“Registering to vote in advance of voting days makes the process faster and easier, and for electors with mailing addresses on their identification, registering with both their physical and mailing address expands their options for identification that can be accepted at the voting place,” says Cora-Lee Conway, manager of corporate services and media relations with Elections Alberta.
In order to vote in the upcoming election, all voters will be required to show identification “to prove their identity and physical address.”
The four ways to accomplish this are by showing your Alberta Driver’s Licence or Identification Card, presenting two pieces of identification, both with your name and one showing your physical address, having someone in your area vouch for you, or having someone in authority, such as a landlord or facility manager, sign an attestation form.
Albertans with a post office box on their identification should register with both the box number and physical address.
“Electors that are registered with both addresses will be able to use their identification with a mailing address when they vote,” said Conway.
