What to bring

As per provincial legislation, if you are on the list of electors as a resident or non-resident property elector, you will not be required to present documentation at the voting location. A legally binding declaration is required in order to receive a ballot.

Resident electors must produce 2 pieces of identification (at least one with a signature), or a combination of identification and a solemn declaration, as to place of residency. Picture identification is not necessary. An election official may also accept other forms of documents that provide evidence satisfactory to the election official (for example, a valid, current passport). The full list of accepted documents is on the City’s election page.

Who can vote

A resident elector must:

• be 18 years of age or older on general voting day October 17, 2026
• be a Canadian citizen
• be a resident of British Columbia for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration
• be a resident of the City of Langley on the day of registration
• not be disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election or assent voting and not otherwise disqualified by law

People who own property in the City but live elsewhere may be able to vote as non-resident property electors. If more than one person owns the property, only one owner can register and that person must have the written consent of a majority of the owners (majority includes the person registering).
