Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote provided he or she is 18 on election day, and can prove his or her identity and address. Canadians with criminal records vote in the same manner as other Canadians.

Canadians that are incarcerated also have the right to vote via special ballot. The voting takes place in the institution ten days before the election day. Incarcerated voters can determine what riding they wish to vote in: The riding they lived in before incarceration, the riding their spouse or dependants currently reside in, the riding in which they were arrested, or the riding in which the court that convicted him or her is located.
