Your Voting Rights
Upon citizenship, you're eligible to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections. This is one of main benefits of citizenship.
How to Register
Elections Canada registers you automatically using census/tax data if eligible. Or register at poll on election day. Bring ID (citizenship certificate counts).
Types of Elections
Federal (Parliament): Every 4 years (approximately). Provincial: Every 4 years. Municipal: Every 4 years. Voting is encouraged but not mandatory (unlike some countries).
