Special Eligibility Rules for Saskatchewan Voters

You need ID to vote

Before you are handed a ballot at a voting place, you must show the election worker ID that confirms your name and address. If that sounds like a problem, vouching may be an option.

Option 1. Driver’s Licence. It has your name and address and is all you need.

Option 2. Two pieces of ID. Both must show your name and at least one shows your current address. There are 50+ options in the list below.

Option 3. Vouching. If you do not have any ID, another voter can vouch for you. An eligible voter, who knows you and lives in the same constituency as you, may vouch for you at the voting place when you arrive to vote in-person.
