During an election, you may find yourself living away from your family’s home. You may wish to vote for a candidate in the electoral district where you live while attending university or you may want to vote for a candidate in the electoral district where you live while not attending school by voting by special ballot.
You are given the opportunity to decide which residence you consider to be your principal residence. Regardless of which residential address you choose, all voting options, including voting by special ballot, are available to you.
If you are a student with a physical disability and cannot go to the returning office, advance poll or Election Day to vote, you may request a home visit.
