Delta voters can cast their ballots in the federal election as early as Friday, April 18.
Advance voting continues on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (April 19 to 21) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Electors must vote only at their assigned polling place. This is different from the process in some provincial elections, where electors can vote at any polling location.
This election, “Delta” includes a small portion of Surrey as the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia adjusted the riding’s borders in 2023 to enclose the area from 64 Street south to the British Columbia Railway adjacent to Colebrook Road, and from 120 Street east to 126 Street above 58 Avenue, to 128 Street between 58 and 56 streets, and to 125A Street/Station Road from 56 to the rail line.
All told, the newly redefined riding has an area of around 190 square kilometres and a population of 117,734 based on 2021 census data, of which Elections Canada estimates 82,897 are registered voters.
Voters can find local riding information and the address for their assigned polling station on the back of their voter information card, by visiting elections.ca and entering their postal code, or by calling 1-800-463-6868.
To vote, electors must prove their identity and address. The list of accepted ID can be found online.
Another early-voting option is to vote at any Elections Canada office by April 22. Delta's Local Elections Canada Office, located at Tsawwassen Mills (Suite 145, 5000 Canoe Pass Way), is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Other office locations can be found online.
Residents can also vote by mail using the special ballot process. The deadline to apply to vote by special ballot is Tuesday, April 22, and the marked ballot must be returned by election day – Monday, April 28.
Visit the Elections Canada website to apply to vote by mail.
Candidates running in Delta are Jason McCormick with the New Democratic Party, Jill McKnight with the Liberal Party of Canada, Jessy Sahota with the Conservative Party of Canada, and Natasa Sirotic with the People's Party of Canada.
