Register to vote in BC
Registration is open year round and is not a condition of voting: you can register at the voting place with ID when you vote.
Ways to register

The online voter registration app registers you or updates your address. Elections BC keeps its own list, separate from the federal one, and shares it with Elections Canada at least once a year. Registering ahead puts a in your mailbox once an election is called. For this election, register or update by October 1 to get the card in the mail.By mail, fax or email

days before Final Voting Day, Saturday, October 24, 2026
The Chief Electoral Officer names the day after each election is called (Election Act, s. 37); from then on the list changes only at the voting place.
Registering when you vote
Show the ID that gets you a ballot and fill in a form at the table; a voter from your riding or a relative can vouch for you instead. A Where to Vote card counts as one of the two documents. What to bring.
