Information for Voters

The City of Saskatoon is asking eligible voters, who can do so, to make a plan to take advantage of early voting opportunities for the upcoming 2020 Civic Election on Monday, November 9. Due to the larger than expected response for mail-ballots, days before application deadline, the Election Office is asking the public to consider all the options available to them.  These options include voting at any advance poll October 30 – November 5 or voting on Election Day, November 9.

For more information on your early voting options, and the COVID-19 precautions in place at all voting locations, review information below.

Voter Registration Form required at all voting locations

Voters are required to complete a Voter Registration Form upon your arrival at any voting location. To save time at the polls, complete a Voter Registration Form before arriving.

Why vote in Saskatoon’s 2020 Civic Election?

Decisions made by municipal governments have a greater effect on residents’ lives than those made at the federal or provincial level. Municipal policies tend to have a larger impact on citizens’ quality of life and well-being. Municipal government provides the civic services we all rely on every day and value, impacting your community today and in the future. Yet, voter turnout in municipal elections tends to be lower than other levels of government. Voter turnout in Saskatoon, however, has continued to increase every four years.

Voting is your opportunity to turn your opinion - into action.

Municipal elections and school board trustee elections occur every four years, or at any time (through a by-election) should a vacancy on City Council or on one of the school boards occur.  Voting in all elections is a responsibility of all eligible Canadian citizens.
