Right to Vote
To vote in Calgary’s municipal elections, you need one of 12 forms of identification - most of which cost money or are difficult for poor or homeless people to obtain. Vibrant Calgary is asking that the city model its voting requirements after the federal and provincial requirements, which have fewer barriers to democratic participation. The Right to Vote campaign includes materials for potential voters that were produced in 2007.
