The District's official map of every voting place. It is served by Google Maps, so nothing is requested from Google until you choose to load it.
Who can vote
To vote as a resident of the District of North Vancouver you must be:
- 18 years or older on general voting day
- A Canadian citizen
- A resident of British Columbia for at least six months before you register
- A resident of the District of North Vancouver for at least 30 days before you register

Non-resident property electors. If you own property in the District but live elsewhere in BC, you may be able to vote as a non-resident property elector. There are extra requirements, including written consent from other registered owners. Confirm with the District.
What to bring
Bring two pieces of identification. At least one must carry your signature, and at least one must show your name together with your District of North Vancouver residential address.
Commonly accepted examples include:
- BC driver's licence or BC Services Card
- BC Identification Card
- Utility bill showing your address
- Property tax notice
- Credit or debit card
- Canadian passport or citizenship card
The District publishes the definitive accepted-identification list. Check it before you go if you are unsure.
Registering
You do not have to register in advance. You can register at the voting place when you arrive, as long as you meet the requirements and have your identification. Registering beforehand simply makes the day faster.
- Register or update your information with Elections BC
- Changed address recently? Update it so your name appears on the right list.
- Changed your name? Bring identification that connects the old name to the new one.
Mail ballots and accessible voting
The District sets its own rules each election for mail ballots and for accessible voting, including curbside voting and assistance at the voting place. These are confirmed in the District's election bylaw closer to the date.
If you need an accommodation to vote, contact the District's election office directly — they will arrange it.
Make a voting plan
People who decide in advance when they are going are far more likely to actually vote. Take thirty seconds:
- Pick your day. Advance voting or Saturday, October 17.
- Pick your time. Voting places are open 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on general voting day.
- Pick your place. Look it up on the District website before you leave.
- Put your identification by the door. Two pieces, one with a signature.
- Bring somebody. A neighbour, your partner, your adult kids.
