I'm unconvinced enough voters are punishing Ford despite all of his mistakes.

Too many people get riled up over national politics and international events while ignoring their civic duties in their community and province. It's disappointing.

I agree - and I'd also highlight that his response to US aggression was pretty decent overall so that's likely in the front of a lot of voters minds.

I know it isn't needed, but it seems odd how many people I know have not received their voters card.

After the election was called I went and checked my registration info and made sure it was accurate. Still didn't get anything.

You can go to your voting location whether or not you received your card, just bring IDs and something with your address.

If you didn't get a voter card, you can get an electronic one by downloading the app. I did that and it was pretty painless. You still need to go to the polling station with a piece of ID but the app generates a bar code they scan and you're in and out of there pretty quick.

What if you don't have something that can download and use apps?

[–] prodigalsorcerer@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You don't need a voting card to vote. If you don't have a voting card, you need a piece of ID with your name and address. If you have your voting card, you just need something with your name.

List of acceptable IDs can be found here: https://www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in-ontario/id-to-vote-in-provincial-elections.html#accordionIDtovote

I know, I was being cheeky with my question because I thought it was weird to tell people about an app to get a voter card when you don't need one to begin with.

Thank you for providing the information under my silliness. :)

fwiw it does actually tell you where your polling station is, which I was confused about after finding conflicting info online.
