Register to Vote

You can register to vote at any time. There are several benefits to registering ahead of an election. Registered voters will receive important updates from Elections Alberta after an election is called, including personalized mailed voter information cards that tell you where, when, and how to vote in upcoming provincial elections. Registering in advance also makes the voting process faster and easier, because you won’t have to register at the polls.
