• Government-issued identification cards

• Passport

• Citizenship Card issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada

• ICBC insurance documents

• BC Services Card or BC CareCard

• Credit card

Election officials may accept other forms of identification that establish an elector's identity and residency in accordance with applicable legislation.
