Prepare yourself for Voting .

Now that the election has been formally called, your COPE Ontario Political Action Committee is contacting you on taking the first steps on what you should be doing to prepare yourself for voting.



Use this link to visit the Elections Canada web site to help you http://elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&document=index&lang=e

 

In order to be prepared to vote, you need to do just 4 things:

Check if you are registered to vote

Do you have the right ID?

Be prepared to show voter ID – (government issued identification with address, eg. drivers license or health card and a household bill with your address indicated – see link)


Confirm your federal electoral district?  The boundaries have changed since the last Federal election and you may be in a new Electoral District as there are now 338 across the country vs 308 in 2011..

Ways you can vote (advance polls, election day, mail, etc)

Once you know the Electoral District you are in you can go to www.punditsguide.ca to see which candidates have been nominated in your electoral district.

We will be following up shortly with more information on the issues Unions across the country are targeting.

In solidarity,

Your PAC Committee (Jim Yurkiw, Doug Massey, Maureen O’Halloran, Mary Stalteri)

This election is about change.

After ten years of Stephen Harper, we know we can be a better country. Canadians are brave – we’re not afraid to stand up for change – and last spring Albertans proved it could be done.

But that change didn’t happen on its own. It happened because people like you stepped up and voted, and in a few weeks, we need to do it again.

Stephen Harper has failed Canadian families, hurt our reputation on the world stage, and attacked our rights and freedoms.

We can turn things around.

Tom Mulcair has dedicated his life to public service. He’s stood up for Canadians against Stephen Harper’s wrong-headed policies, including Bill C-51.

The difference between four more years of Stephen Harper or defeating him with Tom Mulcair could come down to a handful of votes just five weeks from now.

This is the most important election in a generation – and your vote matters very much. Your commitment today is a promise to yourself and the Canada you want for our future.

Join me in committing to vote today, and ask your friends to do the same:
