What is the National Register of Electors?
The National Register of Electors is a database of Canadians who are qualified to vote. It contains basic information about each elector – name, address, sex and date of birth. Canadians may choose whether or not to have their names listed in the Register. The information in the National Register of Electors is used to produce the preliminary voters lists for federal elections, by-elections and referendums. It may also be used to produce voters lists for provinces, territories, municipalities and school boards that have signed agreements with Elections Canada, as permitted by the Canada Elections Act and provincial statutes.
