Winnipeg Election Day: How to vote, dates, venue, and all you need to know

Ahead of the municipal election of Manitoba on Wednesday, through which voters will decide the next mayor, councillors of the city, and trustees of schools, voters need to keep in mind a few things as they head to the polls.

198 voting locations throughout the city will be staffed by 2,000 people hired by the City of Winnipeg.

You can vote at these polling locations between 8 a.m to 8 p.m. Reportedly, Marc Lemoine, senior election official, and city clerk said that 'somewhere around 6:30 to 7 a.m', the staff will get there and set everything up to open the doors at 8:00 a.m.


Eligible voters should have received a card that mentions where they’ll vote on election day. Those who didn’t receive a voter card can call 311 or search online to know where they’re supposed to vote.

Winnipeggers will need either a piece of government-issued ID with their photo, name, and address or two authorised ID( original pieces) that prove their name and address at the voting station.


In the case of two IDs, one must have your current address, and both should have your name.

Lemoine said those IDs could be 'a medical card, a credit card', or other types.

According to Lemoine, lineups are expected early at 8 a.m, and from 4:00 pm to 8 p.m, there will be an after-work rush. But between 10:00 am to 4:00 pm would be slow.
