Who can vouch for another voter?

Voter Identification & Vouching – New for 2025

The province has updated the rules around vouching for the 2025 municipal election. Vouching can now only be used to confirm a voter's address, not their identity. This means all voters must present valid identification in order to vote.

If you are not registered and do not have ID showing your current address, you may still vote if another registered voter can vouch for your address.

To be vouched for:

• You must present valid identification.

• You must complete a declaration form provided at the Voting Station.

• You must be accompanied by a registered voter who can confirm your current address.

• The voter vouching for you must already be listed on the Permanent Electors Register.

• A voter may vouch for more than one person only if all individuals share the same address.

• Scrutineers are not permitted to vouch for anyone.
  
  

To make voting easier, residents are encouraged to register in advance on the Permanent Electors Register by September 15, 2025 at voterlink.ab.ca.
