registering to vote...
 

well, im 20, not registered and would like to vote in the upcoming BC election. now my question is... how would i go about doing that? do i just go to my local poling place and fill out some papers then vote? can i even vote in this election if i try and register on the 17th?

and what ID would i need to bring?

There is a new feature on the Internet you might want to try... it's called GOOGLE.

Easy now... that sarcasm can hurt.

If you show up at a polling station (in your jurisdiction) with proper identification, they cannot PREVENT YOU FROM VOTING. You can register right there, just before you cast your ballot.

If anyone prevents you from voting, ask to see the person in charge of the polling station, and explain that you are not registered yet, but would like to exercise your democratic right. Remain calm.

If there are any further problems, I would start phoning the government. Don't hang up until you get an answer.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE REGISTERED BEFOREHAND.

OK fine. Maybe I was a little hard on Mr. Taco, but seriously...it would be a lot easier to type 3 words into google and get the EXACT information you need without cluttering up the forums with frivolous threads.

i did go to the elections bc site, the only reason i asked here was the site made it seem that you could no longer register, hence i did not know if i could vote...

thank you for the answers :D

I thought the people from Electorate office would run around and register people themselves.

At least, that's what they did during the Federal Elections out here in Alberta.
