Here's what you need to know to vote in London today
CBC
After more than a month of campaigning in ridings across the London region, it's time for voters to have their say.
Here's what you need to know before heading to the poll on election day.
To vote you need to be at least 18 years old and a Canadian citizen.
Polls open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. ET in eastern Ontario. Elections Canada says they are usually busiest when they first open and after 4 p.m.
Anyone in line when polls close will be able to cast their ballot.
You can find your polling station on your voting card, or via the Elections Canada website by entering your postal code.
"Under the federal system, you must vote at the polling location that is associated with your address," said Diane Benson, spokesperson for Elections Canada.
Your polling station for February's Ontario provincial election may not be the same for this one if you're now in a different riding altogether or the voting location wasn't available.
Your card or postal code check should give you information on how accessible your polling place is. If you want more information, call 1-800-463-6868 or use the teletypewriter option at 1-800-361-8935.
If you received a voting card in the mail you will need to bring it and a piece of identification bearing your name to your polling station.
If you did not receive a voting card you can still register at the polling station. You need to bring identification bearing your name and current residential address, such as a driver's licence or utility bill.
Elections Canada has a full list of acceptable identification.
An X is the standard mark to make for the candidate of your choice. They'll have pencils on hand.
If you make a mistake you can ask for another ballot from the election official.
