An example is your Drivers License or Provincial Voluntary ID and a Utility Bill. This is to prove "who" you are and "where" you live. You may also get registered during an election period at the Returning Office for your district. 

Registration for Post-Secondary Students

If you are attending school on PEI and living away from your family home, you may choose to vote in the district of your family home or the district of the address on PEI where you are living while attending school. Please make sure your voter registration has the address you intend to use. 

Out-of-province students - If you are attending school outside PEI and cannot get home to vote in an advance poll or on Election Day, you may still vote in the election using a mail-in ballot. Please ensure you complete the mail-in ballot process before the deadline.
