I took advantage of #AdvancedPolls to vote for #Edmonton's #municipal #election today.

Got off to a bit of a rough start when the very first person I had to interact with kept insisting that I wouldn't be able to vote with the ID I carried -- photo ID* plus a utility bill. 😳

Given I've voted like this for DECADES at every level of government, and as always had double-checked the rules before heading to the polls, I was not impressed. She did finally pass me along to the next stage where, as I well knew, my ID was perfectly in order.

I mentioned the incident to the second volunteer as I was quite concerned over the potential for her convincing people to leave as she definitely didn't understand the rules -- I was assured follow up will be happening. ❤️

*My photo ID does not match my residence, so I bring a utility bill as well that shows the service site of my residence, as per the election rules.

Know your rights/ID requirements!

Popped by the advanced voting booth yesterday.

Despite being a quick process, there was a line up for the booths and the poll workers said it was the shortest it had been all day.

Maybe a high turnout election year?

Either way, your chance to have your say ~~ get out and vote!! :) :) :)

@powerword and I got to #vote at the #advancedpolls today , which conveniently were right by our house.
First time I ever recall writing in the candidate’s name to vote , it was weird.
If you haven’t voted yet , consider advanced polls ; typically, no lines.
Above all else , #vote . We don’t want #maplemaga here . It can happen. #canpoli #canelection2025

REMINDER to #Ontario #voters that #AdvancedPolls in your #riding are open today until 8PM. You can vote early tomorrow thru Wed. the 26th at your local election office (every riding has one), and of course on Thursday Feb. 27, #election day.

Pls vote. Last time only 43% of Ontario voters did so and 40% of those voted PC. Which means 17% of Ontario voters got what they wanted, which was for #DougFord to screw the rest of us.

Take back your democracy, go and vote.
