Hello! I recently got my Canadian citizenship and I’m looking forward to vote in the upcoming election!
But few days ago I came to know that there was a deadline for ‘registering as a liberal/conservative’ for voters. I didn’t know such a thing existed. What difference would whether I registered for the above or not? I assume I can still still show up at the polling station to cast my vote…?
Party registration allows you to vote for party policies and more importantly, the party’s leader during their respective conventions.
It has no bearing on your ability to vote in a general election.
Bring your ID and your voting card with you on election day and vote how you choose.
Also add that most people don’t register with a party so don’t feel compelled to
This part is very important at the moment.
I highly recommend doing this.
