New Voting Requirement for All Residents

Under new provincial legislation, all eligible voters who wish to vote in an Alberta Municipal Election must be listed on a Permanent Electors Register which will be maintained by each municipality. This process is new to Albertans, the Town of Grimshaw and its voters.
 

How Do I Register to Vote?

Registering before September 15th for the Town of Grimshaw's Permanent Electors Register will ensure your voting experience is as smooth as possible. Voters need to register on Voterlink through Elections Alberta.  Non-registered voters will be required to complete a registration form at a voting station prior to receiving a ballot.

Note: On Voterlink you can register, check or update information. If you have recently moved or you had a name change, you need to update your information.

 

ID Requirements

There are two scenarios that will determine what ID you need in order to vote:

1. Registered voters are required to show valid government issued identification containing, at minimum, the voters photograph and name.
2. Non-Registered voters are required to validate their ID by providing one of the following:
   • One piece of Government issued identification containing the voters photograph, name and current address; or
   • One piece of identification containing the voters name and current address.
   • Those unable to produce identification set out above may have a registered voter vouch for them.

 

Please note that candidates running for office in the Town of Grimshaw municipal election are added to the Register of Candidates on our website at grimshaw.ca/candidates. Those wishing to run in the election must submit their nomination papers by September 22, 2025.
