Ask Pat: How do I know I’m registered to vote?

Vote “Yes” Dumby asks—

How do I know I’m registered to vote for the Transit Referendum? What is the most convenient way to vote for the Transit referendum? Will they mail me a ballot?

To register to vote, you can go to the Elections BC website and register on-line. You need a Driver’s License or a Social Insurance Number. If you are already registered, it will simply replace your old registration, so don’t worry about registering too many times (you can only vote once). You can also call them at 1-800-661-8683 using that app on your phone called “phone”. If you register in March, you should automatically get a ballot. If you don’t see a ballot in two weeks or so, you should probably contact them at the phone number and specifically request one. It isn’t only the most convenient way to vote, it’s the only way.
