Those in Saskatchewan will decide who will form the next government on Monday – as election day finally arrives. Here’s what you need to know before heading to the polls.

To be eligible to vote, you must be a Canadian citizen who is at least 18 years old on election day.

Voters must be able to prove their identity and address. This can be done a number of ways:

By providing a driver’s license or any other Canadian government-issued identity document (federal, provincial/territorial or local) with your name, photo and current address.

If you don’t have any of the above, you must show two pieces of identification, at least one of which displaying your current address.

If you don’t have either of the above, you must declare your identity and address in writing and have someone with you who can vouch for you. This person must prove their identity and address with government-issued ID. Each person can vouch for only one person.

Polls across the nation will be open for a total of 12 hours on election day. In Saskatchewan, polls will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

You must vote at your designated polling station, which can be found on your voter card or can be searched using the Elections Canada voter information service.

According to Elections Canada, the best time to vote on election day is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. – as the busiest times are early in the morning or after 4 p.m.

A comprehensive list of all candidates in the province can be found here below.
