News Releases

It’s mid-October and time to get ready to make your voting plans for this fall’s 2024 Civic Election. Eligible voters in Saskatoon, you’ll vote for Mayor, City Councillors and Public and Separate School Board Trustees for the next four-year term on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.

Elections Saskatoon will use a Voters List for this fall’s civic election for the first time since 1988. The Voters List is a list of eligible, registered voters in Saskatoon. The Voters List makes it easier to verify a voter’s identity, and its use ensures only eligible voters vote once. 

Pre-register for the Voters List to help make your voting experience faster and more efficient when you go to vote, either at early voting opportunities or on Election Day. We encourage all eligible voters to get ready to vote by pre-registering, here’s how:

Go Online: Visit saskatoon.ca/voterlookup before tomorrow's deadline, October 22, 2024:

• Review your information, make sure it’s correct.
• Have you moved? Update your address.
• Just turned 18 years? Register to vote for the first time. Congratulations!
• Changed your name? Update your voter information.

You can also have your information on the Voters List updated via these options:

• email elections@saskatoon.ca
• phone the Elections Saskatoon Office 306-657-VOTE (8683)
• in-person at Elections Saskatoon Office at 200-145 1st Ave North. 

Besides making sure you’re registered, and your voter information is correct, it’s important that all voters, regardless of having children in the school system, indicate (or update) the school division you support. This is to ensure you receive the correct ballot when you go to vote. To note, only voters who own assessable property, but do not reside in Saskatoon, will select No School Support when they register for the Voters List. 

Important to know: if you don’t get a chance to check, confirm or update the Voters List before October 22, 2024, via your available options (online, email, phone, or in person) - not to worry! All eligible voters will be able to register at the voting location they attend either at an early voting opportunity or on Election Day. A Voter Registration Form will need to be filled out.
