The City of Grande Prairie is encouraging all eligible voters to prepare ahead of the upcoming 2025 Municipal Election by reviewing voting dates, eligibility, identification requirements, and voting locations to ensure a smooth experience at the polls.

Advance Voting 
Advance voting provides flexibility and convenience, allowing residents to cast their ballot ahead of Election Day and avoid potential lineups. Advance voting is available at Teresa Sargent Hall in the Montrose Cultural Centre on the following days:

• October 9, 10 and 11 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• October 16, 17 and 18 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Election Day is on October 20 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. at polling stations around the city. To find your voting location, ensure you have the appropriate identification and to view a list of candidates for City Council and the Grande Prairie Catholic & Public School Divisions, visit cityofgp.com/election. 

Voter Eligibility
To vote in the 2025 Municipal Election, residents must be:

• At least 18 years of age
• A Canadian citizen
• A resident of the City of Grande Prairie

Identification Requirements 
All voters must present identification to cast a ballot and complete Form 13: Elector Register at the polls. Form 13 is a legal declaration where voters confirm their eligibility, including that they are a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years of age and a resident of the City of Grande Prairie. This process ensures every voter affirms their eligibility in writing before casting a ballot.

• Registered Voters: Those pre-registered on the Permanent Electors Register must show one piece of government-issued photo identification with their name, such as an Alberta Driver’s Licence, Alberta Identification Card, Canadian Passport, Canadian Forces ID Card, Certificate of Indian Status Card, Metis Nation of Alberta Citizenship Card, or other accepted ID.
• Unregistered Voters: Those not pre-registered must present government-issued photo identification that includes both their name and current residential address. Residents without government-issued photo ID can still vote by presenting accepted identification showing their name and current address.

Voting Locations
Each neighbourhood has a designated voting location. Residents can confirm their location by entering their home address into the City’s interactive voting map or by viewing the zone map and voting station list at cityofgp.com/information-voters. 

Voting is a fundamental way to influence the decisions that shape Grande Prairie’s community, services and future growth. Participating in the election is how you make your voice heard and help shape Grande Prairie’s future.
