THE REFERENDUM WILL FOLLOW
THE SAME STEPS AS AN ELECTION.

of an election.

1. Your name must be on the Voters’ List.

During Enumeration, Elections Canada Enumer-
ators will visit your home to put your name on the
Voters’ List. If you are missed, you can have your
name added to the list during the Revision Period.

2. Voting

Shortly afterward, you'll receive an Enumeration
Card in the mail telling you where and when you
can vote. If you cannot vote on the day of the refer-
endum, you can vote earlier at the Advance Polls.
