Students and the Federal Election on Monday May 2
Lillian H. Smith is lucky enough to have students from several universities and colleges as its patrons. We are located across from the St. George campus of U of T and within easy walking distance of OCAD. So this post is for them!
Students, you can choose to vote at your local address or at your paren't's address. Here's what Elections Canada says:
What riding do I vote in – the one where I live with my paren'ts/family, or the one where I live while I attend school?
You vote in your "home" riding.
If you moved to attend school, you decide which address you consider your official "home": where you live while at school or where you live when not at school (e.g. with your paren'ts).
Once you've determined your official home address (also called your "place of ordinary residence"), make sure you are registered to vote at that address. Contact Elections Canada to confirm or update your voter registration: here's how.
When you vote, you will be asked to show proof of your identity and address.
If your official home address is on campus and there's a polling station there, you may vote on campus. Learn more about voting on campus.
