Cariboo Residents Head to the Polls

Democracy will be on full display today as Cariboo residents head to the polls in the general federal election.

The polls will be open until seven o’clock tonight.

Lorraine Grant, the Chief Electoral Officer for the Cariboo-Prince George riding, says you will need some ID in order to vote…

“That would be either a piece of government issued ID with both their name and current address, and if they don’t have that they would be required to have two pieces of ID, both with their name but one of them needing to have their current address.”

Unlike provincial elections, Grant says you must vote at your designated station…

“The voter information card lets you know which electoral district you are in and where you would go to vote on election day. If you aren’t sure and you don’t have a card, then all you need to do is go onto the Elections Canada website and put in your postal code and it will let you know where the specific place that you need to go to vote.”

There are numerous places to vote in both ridings.

A lot of Cariboo residents have already voted.

Numbers released by Elections Canada show that 19,006 people have cast a ballot in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding, which is up from 14,224 in 2015.

12,380 people have already voted in the Cariboo-Prince George riding, up from 9,891.
