A temporary Elections Canada office has been set-up at the SFU Burnaby campus for four days from Sunday (April 13th) to Wednesday (April 16). Students, faculty, staff, and the public can come by to register and vote for this federal election.

Anyone on campus can register and vote who is a Canadian citizen and will be 18 years of age on election day (April 28th). You do not have to be a resident of the electoral district of Burnaby North-Seymour where the SFU Burnaby campus is located. You can be a resident from anywhere in Canada and still register and vote at this temporary Elections Canada office at SFU. Everyone will be voting by special ballot. At the end of each day the special ballots cast will be sent to Elections Canada where the special ballots will be counted after the poll closes on election day (April 28th).

The temporary Elections Canada office at SFU is located in the James Douglas area on the west side of the AQ on the second level under the concrete stairs.

Here are the hours of operation:

• Canadian citizen
• Be at least 18 years old on election day (April 28th)

I.D. to Vote:

Option 1: Government issued I.D. of the person with photo, name, and current address

• BC Driver’s License
• BC I.D. Card
• BC Services Card

Option 2: Two pieces of I.D. with the name of the person on each, and one I.D. must have the person’s current address

Example: Student I.D. card plus a phone bill, credit card statement, or SFU correspondence

Also, if you are already on the list of electors you do not have to register again. Registered voters will be issued a special ballot and can vote right away.

For any questions about registering and voting for this federal election, please come by the temporary Elections Canada office and ask them.
