 For a Canadian federal general election , an individual may cast a ballot if the individual is a Canadian citizen , is at least 18 years old on the day of the election , and is registered to vote . The latter is satisfied by inclusion in the National Register of Electors , in which case Elections Canada will mail the elector a voter information card listing locations for advance polls and election day polls , or by independently registering for each election at an advance poll or election day poll .
