Electors have 4 days for advance voting, or they can go to an Elections Canada office by April 22

Surrey voters can cast their ballots in the federal election as early as Friday, April 18.

Advance voting continues on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (April 19 to 21) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Electors must vote only at their assigned polling place. This is different from the process in some provincial elections, where electors can vote at any polling location.

Surrey residents may also find that their local riding has changed, since boundaries have been altered since the last federal election. 

City residents will be voting in one of seven possible ridings: Surrey Centre, Surrey Newton, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Cloverdale-Langley City, Langley Township-Fraser Heights, South Surrey-White Rock or Delta.

Voters can find local riding information and the address for their assigned polling station on the back of their voter information card, by visiting elections.ca and entering their postal code, or by calling 1-800-463-6868.

To vote, electors must prove their identity and address. The list of accepted ID can be found online.

Another early-voting option is to vote at any Elections Canada office by April 22; office locations can be found online. The offices are open seven days a week: Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

Residents can also vote by mail using the special ballot process. The deadline to apply to vote by special ballot is Tuesday, April 22, and the marked ballot must be returned by election day – Monday, April 28.

Visit the Elections Canada website to apply to vote by mail or call 1-866-499-8007.
