Prince Edward Island Voters Lists

Voters Lists for Prince Edward Island Provincial Elections

By Susan Munroe, About.com

There is no permanent register of voters in Prince Edward Island.

Confirmation Process in Prince Edward Island Elections

A confirmation of electors or enumeration in order to compile a list of eligible voters within each electoral district in Prince Edward Island is begun within 48 hours of the provincial writ of election and is completed within seven days of the issuance of the writ.

The confirmation records are forwarded to the Chief Electoral Officer to prepare the preliminary List of Electors.

Registration of Electors

An elector who is missed during the confirmation process can have his or her name added to the List of Electors by supplying the necessary information to the retuning officer up to 13 days before polling day.

Adding Your Name to the Voters List at the Poll

If your name is not on the final List of Electors, you may still cast your ballot on polling day by appearing at the polling station for your polling division and swearing an oath of eligibility. To confirm your identity, be sure to bring a copy of an official document showing your name, address, date of birth and signature, such as a drivers licence, or a combination of two documents providing the same information.
