Advance voting starts soon in Cloverdale-Langley City by-election

In Canada, advance voting for the federal by-election in Cloverdale-Langley City, British Columbia, will commence on December 6, 2024, extending through December 8. Polls will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Electors are assigned specific polling stations, and they can confirm their locations by accessing elections.ca or by contacting 1-800-463-6868. Due to a service disruption at Canada Post, voters will not receive voter information cards but are not required to possess one to vote. Instead, they need to prove their identity and address with accepted forms of ID available online. The option for early voting is also accessible at the local Elections Canada office in Cloverdale-Langley City until December 10, 2024, at 6 p.m. local time. Additionally, mail-in voting is still available, although contingency measures have been put in place to address potential postal service delays. To vote by mail, electors must apply online for a special ballot by December 10 and ensure the return of their ballot either through a courier option arranged by Elections Canada or in-person delivery before the election day polls close. Those with concerns regarding mail voting are encouraged to reach out to Elections Canada for assistance. As part of preparations for this by-election, Elections Canada is also hiring workers for various paid positions, inviting individuals interested in contributing to their community to apply online or contact their local Elections Canada office for additional information. This initiative highlights Elections Canada's role as an independent, non-partisan agency that operates directly under the supervision of Parliament.
