I don't have a drivers license, and all of my bills are paid online. The only thing I have with my address on it is the contract I signed when I opened an account with my bank. Do you think this will be acceptable?

I do option 2 as my driver's licence was stolen and I've never got a new one. But there's always option 3 if you can't put the documentation together.



Option 2
Show two original pieces of authorized identification. Both pieces must have your name and one must also have your address.
Example: health card and hydro bill.


Option 3
Take an oath and have an elector who knows you vouch for you. This person must have authorized identification and be from the same polling division as you. This person can only vouch for one person.
Examples: a neighbour, your roommate.

I don't have a driver's license either. When I voted in the advanced poll, I used my cheque book which had my address and my rail pass which had my picture.
