Question: Can I Register to Vote in the Canadian Federal Election on Election Day?
Answer:

Updated: 09/25/08

Yes, you can register to vote at the polling station for your current address on election day, although it may take a little longer.

You will be asked for valid identification which shows your photo, name and address. A driver's licence is a good example.

If you don't have identification, you can register by taking an oath if you are vouched for by another voter registered in the same polling division who has valid identification.
