How do I get on the List of Electors?
It’s easy to make sure your name is on the List of Electors.
Between Elections:
You can check to see if you are on the List or whether your information is accurate by contacting Elections Nova Scotia at 424-8584 or 1-800-565-1504; TTY 902-424-7475 or 1-866-774-7074. You will be asked to provide personal information, such as your date of birth, in order for us to determine whether you are the elector wishing to check his/her information.
If an election has already been called, you can:
- Apply at the returning office in your electoral district. The Returning Officer will add your name to the List and also tell you what polling station you will vote at based on your civic address. Find your returning office using the Electoral District Finder.
- Apply at your polling station. The Deputy Returning Officer or Revision Assistant will add your name to the list using a Certificate to Vote. Be sure to bring appropriate ID.
ID Requirements:
- One document with your name, civic address and signature (e.g., driver's license)
- Two documents: one with your name and civic address and one with your name and signature (e.g., health card and utility bill)
