Mail in vote alberta

In Alberta, Canada, mail-in voting is not a common practice, but there are some exceptions and alternatives. Here's what you need to know:

Advance Voting: Alberta offers advance voting, which allows eligible voters to cast their ballots in person at designated locations before Election Day. This is a convenient option for those who cannot vote on Election Day.

Special Ballot: In certain circumstances, voters may be eligible to receive a special ballot, which is a mail-in ballot. This is typically available for:

  1. Electors who are unable to vote in person: Due to illness, disability, or other reasons, voters may be unable to cast their ballot in person. In these cases, they can apply for a special ballot.
  2. Electors who are away from their electoral district: If you are temporarily away from your electoral district (e.g., on vacation, working out of town, or studying abroad), you may be eligible for a special ballot.
  3. Electors who are in a hospital or care facility: Voters who are in a hospital or care facility may be eligible for a special ballot.

To apply for a special ballot, you will need to:

  1. Check your eligibility: Review the Alberta Elections website to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria.
  2. Fill out the application form: Download and complete the Special Ballot Application Form (available on the Alberta Elections website).
  3. Submit the application: Mail or fax the completed application form to the Alberta Elections office.
  4. Receive your special ballot: Once your application is approved, you will receive a special ballot package, which includes a ballot, a secrecy envelope, and a return envelope.
