Dateline: 03/31/11
In a Canadian federal election, the returning officer in each riding mails a personalized Voter Information Card (VIC) to each elector whose name appears on the preliminary voters lists.
The Voter Information Card gives you the address at which you are registered, the address and hours of the polling station where you can vote on election day and the dates, hours and address where you can vote in advance polls.
It also provides contact information for your local returning officer.
For the 2011 Canadian federal election, a Voter Information Card will be mailed to all registered voters between April 8 and April 13, 2011.
If you don't receive a Voter Information Card by April 15, 2011, or if the information on your Voter Information Card is incorrect, contact your local returning officer. You should also contact your returning officer if you need information on alternative ways of voting or to find out about facilities at your polling station.
Although you don't need the Voter Information Card as identification to vote, it's a good idea to bring it with you when you go to vote since it can speed up the process.
