Am I Eligible to Vote?

  • Are 18 years of age or older when registering to vote or will be 18 years of age or older on general voting day.
  • Are a Canadian citizen.
  • Have been a resident of British Columbia for at least six months before registering to vote.
  • Live in the city of Prince George at the time of registering to vote.
  • Are not disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment or by law from voting in a local election.
Prince George Non-Residents

Individuals are eligible to vote in the Prince George General Local Election as a non-resident property elector if they:

  • Are 18 years of age or older when registering to vote or will be 18 years of age or older on general voting day.
  • Are a Canadian citizen.

  • Are not disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment or by law from voting in a local election.

Non-resident property electors will be asked to complete a Non-Resident Property Elector Registration Form. The form will be available at advance voting opportunities and at all locations on general voting day.

If there is more than one registered owner of the real property, only one owner is eligible to vote. The property owners must complete a Non-Resident Property Elector Consent Form appointing one person as the non-resident property elector. The appointed non-resident property elector must present the completed form to the Presiding Election Official at the voting location.

  • Non-Resident Property Elector Consent Forms will be posted when available [PDF]


How Do I Register to Vote?

The City of Prince George uses same-day voter registration. Voters do not need to register in advance to vote in the Prince George General Local Election. 

Voters must present at least two (2) pieces of acceptable identification at the voting station that show proof of identify and place of residence. At least one of the two forms of ID must contain a signature. Examples of acceptable identification include:

  • British Columbia Driver's License
  • British Columbia Identification Card
  • British Columbia Care Card
  • British Columbia Gold Care Card
  • Credit Card
  • Debit Card
  • Canadian Passport
  • Property Tax Notice
  • Certificate of Canadian Citizenship
  • Government-Issued Military Identification Card
  • Firearms Possession and Acquisition License
  • Certificate of Indian Status
  • Current utility bill containing Elector's name and address
  • Owner's Certificate of Insurance and Vehicle License (issued by ICBC)
  • Other documents sufficient to satisfy the Chief Election Officer

Note: Combination BC Services Card and BC Driver's Licence only count as one (1) form of acceptable identification. A second piece of identification will be required.

Individuals who do not have a document that proves a place of residence may also provide two documents from the list above that provide proof of identity and make a solemn declaration as to the place of residence to the Election Official at the voting station.


Where and When Can I Vote?


  • All locations are accessible for individuals with mobility or other impairments.
  • Automark Voter Assist Terminals for electors with hearing, visual, or other physical impairments will be available at the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre for the two (2) advance voting days and on general voting day.


Can I Vote With a Mail Ballot?

The City of Prince George will accept requests for a Mail Ballot Package. Application forms will be available online in August 2022 and for pick-up at City Hall. To be counted for voting, mail ballots must be received by the Chief Election Officer by the posted deadline (to be announced).

Electors who are concerned they may not have enough time to return completed packages before the deadline can call one of the following Election Officers:
