Ready to vote? Here's what you need to know to cast your ballot in Quebec
CBC
Parties have made their pitches and now it's up to voters to have their say in Canada's 45th general election.
In Quebec, 78 seats are up for grabs in the province's federal ridings with close to 1.6 million Quebecers having cast a ballot in advance polls.
According to Elections Canada data, it represents a 13 per cent increase over the last general election held in 2021.
In Quebec, polls open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 9:30 p.m but electors that are still in line at the end of voting hours will be allowed to vote.
Those needing a primer or a refreshing on what the different parties have promised, can consult the CBC's party platform tracker at cbc.ca/partyplatforms. You can also compare how your views lineup with those of the different parties using the vote compass tool.
You should have received a voter information card in the mail indicating where your polling station is located. Otherwise, you can search online on the Elections Canada website.
It's important to know because you are required to vote at your assigned polling station in a federal election.
So if you have it, bring your voter information card with you. It will make the process easier.
Also make sure to bring a valid piece of ID such as a driver's licence or any other Canadian government-issued card with your photo, name and current address.
Those without photo ID, need to bring two documents to prove their identity and address, such as a birth certificate and a bank statement. Both documents must have your name and one should show your current address. Elections Canada has a full list of accepted documents on its website.
Also, first-time voters who might be excited to share their experience online, just know that taking a photo of a marked ballot is illegal and so is publishing it.
Voting hours have been staggered across the country, so that the majority of results are available at approximately the same time.
Election day coverage starts at 6 a.m. ET on CBC TV, CBC News Network, CBCNews.ca, the CBC News app, CBC Gem, YouTube and streamed wherever you find CBC News.
