It's tax season!

Check the boxes to help keep the National Register of Electors and the Register of Future Electors up to date!

Filing your taxes? Check the boxes.

When filing your taxes, checking "Yes" to the two questions related to Elections Canada ensures that you're on the list of electors at your current address and ready to vote at any federal election.

Register of Future Electors

The Register of Future Electors contains information on Canadian citizens aged between 14 and 17 who consented to register with Elections Canada.

Upon turning 18, eligible individuals will be added to the National Register of Electors to update the lists of electors for federal elections and referendums.

If you check "Yes" to both questions

• The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will only share your name, address and date of birth with Elections Canada to update the National Register of Electors.
• If you're eligible to vote and not already in the National Register of Electors, Elections Canada will accept this as your request to be added.
• If you're a Canadian citizen aged between 14 and 17, Elections Canada will add your information to the Register of Future Electors.
• When an election is called, you will receive a voter information card that tells you where, when, and the ways to vote.
