How to vote
Marking your ballot
You can help elect Glenn De Baeremaeker by filling in the middle of the arrow next to his name on the ballot (as illustrated above).
Make sure you’re on the voters’ list
Having your name on the voters’ list makes voting fast and easy. If you’re not sure if you’re on the voters’ list, you can call 311 to find out.
Don’t forget: Bring proper identification!
To vote in this election, you are required to provide identification. The voter information card can NOT be used as ID! When you come to vote, please bring:
| ....... |
• One piece of identification showing your name, Toronto address and signature For a list of examples, click here.
OR
• Two pieces of identification : one piece of identification showing your name and signature, and a second piece of identification showing your name and Toronto address. For a list of examples, click here.

If you do not have identification but your name is on the voters' list, you will be required to sign a Declaration of Identity to receive a ballot. If you refuse to show identification or take the declaration, you will not be given a ballot.
