There is no voters list. At your polling station, you are required to provide appropriate identification and to sign a declaration that you are eligible to vote.
Voter Identification
All voters must provide identification to be eligible to vote. The purpose of the voter identification is to provide proof of identity and to establish residency. Government-issued photo identification is your best option but there are other alternative available to you.
Option 1:
- One original piece of identification that includes your photo, name and civic address.
- The identification must be issued by a federal, provincial, or municipal government, such as a Saskatchewan Driver’s License.
If your identification does not meet these criteria it will not be recognized as an acceptable form of photo identification.
If you don not have a driver’s license, you may obtain identification from Saskatchewan Government Insurance at little or no cost.
Option II:
- Two original pieces of information, both of which must contain your name and at least one that contains your address. Example of acceptable identification options include a utility bill issued to you within the last six months, and a credit card statement.
Option III:
If you do not possess any form of acceptable identification you may have another voter vouch, or provide assurance of your identity and address, for you. In this case, the following requirements must be met:
- You must be accompanied by another voter who has acceptable identification
- The voter who is vouching for you must be entitled to vote in Martensville
- A form to vouch for another voter must be completed. The forms are available at the polling station.
