What to bring
To vote in person at the voting place, a voter must show one piece of acceptable identification with their name and qualifying Toronto address. Photo identification is not required.
For a faster voting process, voters are also encouraged to bring their paper or digital VIC when they go to vote. Voters who are on the voters’ list can access their digital VIC and find a list of acceptable identification on the Toronto Elections webpage: www.toronto.ca/Elections.
Accessibility, supports and services
A voter can bring a friend, family member, caregiver, or other support person to assist them at the voting place. Individuals assisting a voter behind the voting screen must first complete a declaration. Alternatively, an election official can help a voter with accessibility needs who requires assistance.
A Voter Assist Terminal (VAT) is a device that lets voters with disabilities mark a paper ballot privately, independently and securely.
There will be two VATs in each ward on election day. Voters can find out if their voting place has a VAT by visiting www.toronto.ca/Elections or by calling 311. A voter who would like to access a VAT but does not have one at their designated voting place can request a ballot transfer by calling 311 in advance.
