Find your polling place and voting hours for municipal elections in Surrey, British Columbia, using official City and provincial resources. Polling locations are set for each election and communicated by the City of Surrey; voters should confirm their assigned site, opening hours, and accessibility options before election day. This guide explains where to look, how to check hours, what identification or registration steps may be required, and whom to contact for problems at the polls.

Check your assigned polling location before you leave to avoid delays.

Where to find your polling location

The City of Surrey publishes official voter information and maps of polling places for each municipal election; provincial tools also list locations for provincial elections. If you are unsure of your polling place, check the City of Surrey election page or Elections BC’s "Where to Vote" tool and confirm by entering your address.[1] [2]

  • Polling hours vary by election; typical municipal polling hours are published in the voter information notice.
  • Polling locations may include schools, community centres, and temporary voting sites; accessibility details are listed per site.
  • If a polling place is inaccessible or closed, contact the City elections office immediately.

Identification, registration, and special ballots

Registered voters on the voters list can attend their assigned polling station. If you are not on the voters list or need an alternative (special/advance/absentee ballot), the City provides procedures and forms where applicable. Deadlines for registering or applying for special ballots are published for each election cycle; if a specific form number or fee is required, it will be listed on the official elections page.[1]

Special ballots and advance voting allow voters who cannot attend on election day to cast a ballot in advance.

Penalties & Enforcement

The City of Surrey and provincial election laws set offences and enforcement practices for improper conduct at polling places. Specific fine amounts and escalation rules are not specified on the cited City election pages; consult the controlling legislation referenced by the City for statutory penalties.[1]

  • Monetary fines: not specified on the cited City election page.
  • Escalation (first, repeat, continuing offences): not specified on the cited City election page.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: official orders, removal from polling place, or charges under provincial election statutes may apply; specific measures are contained in the governing legislation or regulations.
  • Enforcer and complaints: the City election office acts as local administrator; complaints about offences at polling places are directed to the City elections contact and, where criminal conduct is alleged, to RCMP or provincial authorities.
  • Appeals and review routes: judicial review or statutory appeal routes depend on the statute cited by the City; time limits for appeals are specified in the governing legislation and are not listed on the cited City election page.

Applications & Forms

The City posts voter registration guidance, advance voting and special ballot instructions, and any application forms on its official elections pages. If a specific form number, fee, or submission method is required it will be shown there; if not, it is not specified on the cited page.[1]

If you need a special ballot, apply early because deadlines vary by election.
