Get to know the list and plan your vote

Citizens are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the list and to share it with their networks, so as many people as possible are prepared to vote with confidence. The list can be found:

• In two large advertisements found in the Vancouver Courier and Star Metro Vancouver on September 27
• In the printed voters’ guide found at Vancouver community centres and libraries, available as of September 27

A Plan Your Vote online tool will be available starting September 27 to help citizens review the candidates and build a plan that shows where their desired candidates are on the ballot. As well, citizens can use a worksheet in the printed voters’ guide that shows the names in official ballot order.

–      Advance voting: October 10 to 17, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

–      Election day: October 20, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
