ID requirements
Bring one piece of ID that shows your name and Kingston address — a driver's licence, utility bill, or bank statement all work. If you don't have ID, you can bring a friend or neighbour from your ward to vouch for you.
Help spread the word.
Tell a neighbour. Bring a friend. The more Kingstonians who vote, the better our city becomes.
