Yes, but also please understand that registering to vote directly at the polling station is ridiculously easy. Even if you forgot to update your registration, go vote anyway, it'll only take an extra few minutes.

Either way you do need ID to vote but what qualifies as ID is anything from an absolutely enormous list of options, including, if need be, just having someone else vouch for you.

See the full list here: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=id&document=index&lang=e

Also of note;

  • Polling places open several days ahead of the election.
  • You can already - as in right now - go vote early at any elections Canada office.
  • Your place of work is legally required to give you time off to vote if none of those other options work for you.

Please, please, please, do not get caught up in the Americanification of all online discourse. Voting in Canada is unbelievably easy.
