Manitobans have until 8:00 p.m, August 22, to update their voter information or register to vote in advance of the election.

Voters also have until Thursday to register or update their information using Elections Manitoba’s online voter registration service, at https://www.electionsmanitoba.ca/en/Voting/Register_Of_Voters.

Even if they are not registered, Alison Mitchell, Manager of Communications and Public Information, explains eligible voters can still vote if they show ID and take an oath at the voting place, either during advance voting or on election day.

To be eligible to vote, individuals must be Canadian citizens at least 18 years old on election day and have lived in Manitoba for at least six months immediately before election day.
