Election security

Elections Calgary is committed to safe, secure and accessible elections. Nothing is more important to us than maintaining voter confidence and ensuring an unbiased and accurate election. We have many processes set up to ensure the integrity and security of the election.

Checking voter eligibility

Elections Calgary follows the rules for checking voter eligibility, identification and verification based on the requirements in the Local Authorities Election Act (the Act).

Voters must present acceptable identification showing their name and current address, or have an eligible voter vouch for their identity, and complete their voter statements before voting. A candidate or their scrutineer may object to a voter’s qualification and a record of this objection is kept with the sealed ballot box.

It is an offence under the Act to vote if the person knows they have no right to do so. A person who is found guilty of an offense can be fined up to $10,000, imprisoned for up to six months, or both.

Elections Calgary fully cooperates with any Calgary Police Service investigation regarding fraudulent voting.
