Delta voters will be finding out over the next few days where they have to vote in next month's federal election.
Millions of personalized Voter Information Cards (VICs) have been mailed out to registered voters' homes this week and more will be sent over the coming days.
VICs contain important personalized polling location information. Unlike provincial or municipal elections where voters can go to any polling station, voters in the federal election have to go to the polling station assigned to them.
VICs identify each voter's poll number and location for election day, Oct 19. The cards also have information on locations for advanced polling days -Thanksgiving long weekend, Oct. 9 to 12, from noon to 8 p.m. Elections Canada says when voters receive their VIC, it's a good idea to check the information. Voters that haven't received their VIC by Oct. 1 or whose card shows the wrong address can register or update their address online. They can also drop by a local Elections Canada office. To locate your local Elections Canada office, you can use the Voter Information Service tool on the Elections Canada home page at www.elections.ca.
Voters can also vote any time up until Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. at an Elections Canada office using a special ballot.
To get more information about voting, including ID requirements, Elections Canada offices are open seven days a week and have staff to answer questions. Voters can also call 1-800-463-6868.
