Advance polls for military

To facilitate voting in the upcoming Federal Election, CAF members have special voting rules allowing these electors to vote in advance of the election date. This year, the advance polling will take place during the period of Oct. 5-10. On enrollment, all Regular Force members should have completed a Statement of Ordinary Residence (SOR) to identify where they would like to vote during upcoming federal elections. This information is available on your MPRR under the heading “Federal Electoral District”. Reservists and Members of the Regular Forces who have not filled out a SOR can, on polling day, complete an SOR form and vote immediately thereafter. CF Electors who do not vote under the special voting rules at a military polling station may vote at a civilian polling station during a general election if the fol- lowing conditions apply: -the elector votes at the civilian polling station established for the address of ordinary residence shown on his SOR, and -the elector resides in the electoral district shown on his SOR on civilian polling day.

Where and When to vote: Polling will be centralized in three locations. Naden: Naden Drill Shed Oct. 6, 2015 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 7-8, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 14:30 p.m.
