Provincial Election Voting on Campus

September 20, 2018

  • 9:00 AM

  • Sir James Dunn Hall

 

Students will be able to vote in the provincial election on campus from Tuesday, September 18 to Friday, September 21, 2018.  Elections New Brunswick voting stations will be available in Sir James Dunn Hall Tuesday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.


Students have the choice to vote for a candidate in their “home” riding or for a candidate in the riding where they live while going to school. Students, however, still only get one vote.


In order to vote in New Brunswick you must be:

  • a Canadian citizen,
  • at least 18 years of age by Election Day September 24, 2018),
  • have been ordinarily resident somewhere in New Brunswick for at least 40 days before Election Day, and
  • be living in the riding where you apply to vote.
  • ID Requirements

When applying to be added to the voters list, you must present one or more pieces of identification which between them show your name, your signature, and the address where you are now resident. A New Brunswick driver's license contains all three and is the ideal piece of identification.


Other options may include:

  • a lease agreement,
  • utility bills,
  • student IDs,
  • other documentation that provides the above three requirements, or having an elector already on the voters list vouch for your residency.

You will be required to sign a declaration stating you are now "ordinarily" resident in New Brunswick, have been so for at least 40 days, and that this address in New Brunswick is now your ordinary residence.


You can also apply in person to obtain a ballot for your "home" riding at any Returning Office in the province, and cast your ballot there at the same time. You can also request that the Returning Office in your "home" riding mail you a special ballot, and then you must ensure the ballot is received back at that Returning Office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
