There are new identification (ID) requirements that an eligible elector needs to be aware about in order to receive a ballot and being able to vote in the 2010 Toronto Election. These requirements will also affect those electors that may wish to have someone vote on their behalf as a proxy, and also to candidates filing nomination papers.

A person must now present identification that shows their name, signature and Toronto address upon arriving at their voting place. You can present the required identification in two ways:

  • The first is having a single piece of ID showing your name, signature and Toronto address (where you currently live or own property).
