a resident of The City of Prince Albert or the owner of assessable land within the municipality for at least three (3) consecutive months immediately preceding the day of the election; and,
a resident of the Province of Saskatchewan for at least six (6) consecutive months immediately preceding the day of the election.
(Section 36 of The Local Government Election Act, 2015.)
Non-Resident Voter If you don’t live in Prince Albert, but own assessable land in
Prince Albert for at least three (3) consecutive months immediately preceding the day of the election, you can vote for the Mayor and Councillor in the polling area/ward in which the property is located. You must still meet all the other requirements set out above. Please note that if you own more than 1 property in Prince Albert, you can only vote ONCE in the polling area/ward where the property with the highest assessment is located, regardless of how many properties you own. You are NOT eligible to vote for the In-City School Boards if you do not live in the city.
Separate School Board In addition to the requirements set out above, voters must be
of the religious faith of the minority that established the Separate School Division, which in the City of Prince Albert is Roman Catholic, and on being registered as a voter in that separate school division, that person shall not qualify to be registered as a voter in respect of any other school division. If your faith recognizes the Pope as the leader of your church, you are considered to be a member of the minority Catholic faith, thereby becoming an elector for the Separate School Board.
4 | P a g e
Public School Board A person who is registered as a voter in a Public School Division is not qualified to be registered as a voter in respect to any other school division.
5 | P a g e
IDENTIFICATION
Proof of Identity All voters must provide identification to be eligible to vote. The
purpose of the voter identification is to provide proof of identity and to establish residency.
(Section 110 of The Local Government Election Act, 2015.)
A complete list of acceptable identification is available at www.pavotes.ca.
Acceptable Identification Option 1 Photo Identification
Original Government-issued photo identification that includes your name and address is your best option. The identification must be issued by a Federal, Provincial or Municipal Government, such as a Saskatchewan Driver’s License. If your identification does not meet this criteria it will not be recognized as an acceptable form of photo identification. If you do not have a driver’s license, you may obtain photo identification from SGI at little or no cost.
Option 2 Two Pieces of Information
Two (2) original pieces of information, both of which must contain your name and at least one (1) that contains your address. Examples of acceptable identification options include a utility bill issued to you within the last 6 months, and a credit card statement. (Section 14 and Table 1, Appendix D of The Local Government Election Regulations, 2015.)
Option 3 Voucher
If you do not possess any form of acceptable identification you may have another voter vouch for you, or provide assurance of your identity and address. In this case, the following requirements must be met:
6 | P a g e
You must be accompanied by another voter who has acceptable identification;
The voter who is vouching for you must be entitled to vote in Prince Albert; and,
The Vouching for Identity Form must be completed by the voucher. This Form is available at the polling station.
No voucher may vouch for MORE than one (1) person in an election unless the people to be vouched for are living at the same address and are related to the voucher. (Section 17 and Table 2, Appendix D of The Local Government Election Regulations, 2015.)
The following individuals may not vouch for the identity of any person:
a person who has been vouched for;
an election official; or,
a candidate or candidate’s agent.
(Section 17 and Form B, Appendix A of The Local Government Election Regulations, 2015.)
Residency The residence of a person is the place where that person
normally resides. A person who is temporarily absent from the place where
he/she normally resides does not lose his/her residence. An example would be someone away to study at an educational institute. Until that person completes or abandons their studies, the person is considered a resident of the place in which they resided immediately before leaving to pursue their studies.
If a person has more than 1 home in the Province, that person
must choose 1 as his/her residence. Exceptions to Residency If you are an active member of the Canadian Forces or as a
spouse/dependent of a member of the Canadian Forces you are eligible to vote in the last place you resided before your service.
7 | P a g e
If you are a student studying away from your usual residence, you can vote in the place where you resided immediately before leaving to pursue studies.
If you are a resident of The City, but currently living abroad,
you can apply for a Mail-In Ballot. No Fixed Address If an individual has no fixed address, they can fill out a
Certificate of Identity and Residence Form and have it signed by an Administrator at a shelter such as YWCA or Salvation Army. They can then vote in the same ward as the shelter is located by bringing in that Form as one (1) piece of required identification, plus another piece of identification.
8 | P a g e
POLLING AREAS & PLACES
Polling Areas/Wards The City is divided into 8 polling areas/wards and voters can
only vote in the polling area/ward in which they reside.

Polling Places Each of the 8 polling areas/wards have one (1) polling place where residents who reside in that area/ward can attend to vote.

VOTING AT THE POLLS Candidates A complete list of candidates running for the Election will be
available at www.pavotes.ca once the Nominations are received and the official list will be indicated following the Withdrawal Period on October 8, 2020.
Voters List Unlike Provincial and Federal Elections, the City does not
have a Voters List. Voter Registration Each eligible voter is required to answer all questions and sign
a Voter’s Registration Form, which declares they are eligible to vote. The Voter’s Registration Form may be completed as follows:
1. At home by downloading and printing the Voter’s
Registration Form from www.pavotes.ca and answering all required questions; or
2. At the poll, where Election Officials can assist with any
questions.
Please note, the voter must sign the Form in front of an Election Official at the poll.
At the Poll At each designated poll, an Election Official will greet eligible
voters to verify the voter’s address to ensure the voter is at the correct poll and ensure the voter has proper identification. If an eligible voter has not already completed a Voter’s Registration Form, the voter will be provided the Form to complete and an Election Official will be available to assist if required. Once the Form is complete, the voter will be directed to a specific Election Official to register by providing the proper identification, make their declaration, and sign the Form.
Registering After the voter has registered with the specified Election Official, the voter will be provided 1 ballot containing all the races, in which the voter is eligible to vote, in a secrecy folder to take to a voting compartment.
After the voter has marked the ballot by filling in the oval for the correct number of candidates for each of the races on the
16 | P a g e
ballot, the voter will place the ballot back in the secrecy folder and proceed to the Electronic Vote Counting Machine, where an Election Official will assist the voter in feeding the ballot into the machine. The Electronic Vote Counting Machine will automatically count the ballot and feed the ballot directly into the ballot box. The votes will continue to be counted throughout the day and until the close of the poll, at which time the results will be provided to the Election Office. The voter will immediately exit the polling place once the ballot has been fed into the machine. Voters are NOT allowed to remain in the polling place once their vote has been cast.
Challenging a Voter During the time the polls are open, a candidate or candidate’s agent may object to the entitlement of any person intending to vote. If the candidate or agent believes that the voter is not entitled to vote and objects, the Election Official will re-confirm the information sworn on the Registration Form with the voter. If the voter indicates that the declaration is correct, the voter will proceed to vote. The objection that was raised, including the name of the candidate or agent raising the objection will be noted on the Registration Form and the entry will be initialed by the Election Official. Should the voter indicate that a mistake was made in completing the Registration Form and/or is not entitled to vote, the information will be noted on the Registration Form and the voter will not be issued a ballot and will forfeit the right to vote. Please note that although a candidate and/or candidate’s agent can be present at the polls, they CANNOT interfere with the election process.
17 | P a g e
Safety Measures The Returning Officer has put measures in place, following the guidelines of the Saskatchewan Health Authority, to ensure that polling places are safe for voters and workers, such as:
Hand Sanitizer for voters and workers;
Masks/Shields for workers; and,
Two (2) meter distancing marks on floors. In addition, due to the Saskatchewan Government’s Public
Health Order effective November 6, 2020, non-medical masks are mandatory at polling locations on Election Day. For those that are unable or unwilling to wear a mask, curbside voting will be available. At the door, an election official will bring your ballot outside and conduct your vote from your vehicle or on the sidewalk.
Please expect line-ups during peak times such as noon and supper.
