Alternatives to identification (Attestation)

• If you don't have identification that contains your current address and you have a landlord, download the "Attestation of Residence for Landlord" form and have your landlord complete it.
• If you don't have identification and you live in a supportive living facility or treatment centre, download the "Attestation of Residence for Supportive Living Facility" form and have it completed by the facility or treatment centre.
• If you don't have identification and you live in a shelter, download the "Attestation of Residence for Shelter"  and have it completed by the shelter staff.
• If you don't have identification and are a student living in the University of Lethbridge residences or the Lethbridge College residences, download the "Attestation of Residence for Post Secondary Residence" and have it completed by university or college residence staff.
• One of the following, issued by the responsible authority of a shelter or soup kitchen:  e.g. attestation of residence, letter of stay, admission form or statement of benefits

If a voter’s identification shows a post office box number as the address instead of a residential or legal address, it can be accepted as verification of current address if it is in reasonable proximity to the voting jurisdiction.

Vouching

As a last resort, another elector may vouch for an elector that does not have any acceptable identification available.  The voucher must make a statement that the elector knows the person,, and where they reside.  An elector can only vouch for one person or persons that live at the same residence.
