• You must be a Canadian Citizen;
• You must have lived in British Columbia at least six (6) months immediately before the day of registration;
• You must be a resident of the District of Vanderhoof; and
• You must not be disqualified by the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election or be otherwise disqualified by law.

Non-resident Property elector – you own property in Vanderhoof but live elsewhere in BC*

• You must not be entitled to register as a Resident Elector;
• You must be eighteen (18) years of age or older on General Voting Day;
• You must be a Canadian Citizen;
• You must have lived in British Columbia at least six (6) months immediately before the day of registration;
• You must be the registered owner of the real property in the jurisdiction at least thirty (30) days immediately before the day of registration;

A person holding property in trust for a corporation (e.g., numbered company) or another trust is not eligible to vote as a non-resident property elector. If a property title lists a trust/numbered company and an individual, neither the trust nor the individual is entitled to vote.

If you plan to vote in person, it is suggested you submit a Non-Resident Property Elector Registration Form prior to voting day. You will be required to produce acceptable identification, as well as proof of ownership of the property in question. If there are other owners of the property you must also have written consent from the majority of all of the owners stating that you are the one owner who is designated as the Non-Resident Property Elector for that property.

*When you sign a declaration prior to voting, you are making a solemn declaration.
There are significant penalties for signing a false declaration.
