In Laval, Quebec, polling places and hours depend on whether the vote is municipal, provincial or federal. This guide explains how to locate your assigned polling station, what hours to expect on election day, what to bring, accessibility options and how to report problems to officials. Use the official city and federal resources below to confirm your address, hours and any special voting arrangements such as advance polls or voting by mail.

How to find your polling place

Before election day check the official list of polling stations for Laval or use the national voter lookup to confirm your assigned location for federal elections. Polling assignments are based on the address on your voter registration and can change between elections.

Typical polling hours and special voting

Standard election-day hours are posted with each election’s official notice. Expect variation for advance polls, special ballots and special-needs arrangements. If you need to vote outside standard hours, check advance voting dates or whether a special ballot or mail-in option is available for your election type.

  • Election-day and advance poll dates and times: check the official election notice on the city or electoral authority page.
  • Doors typically open in the morning and close in the evening; exact hours are set in each election notice.
  • Special voting measures (mobile polls, at-home voting) are published before the vote.
Bring acceptable ID and arrive early to avoid lines.

ID, accessibility and special arrangements

Bring government-issued photo ID with your name and address, or two pieces of ID showing your name, one with address, as required by the administering authority for the election type. Accessibility measures and assisted voting options are provided at many polling locations; request help from poll staff if you need it.

  • Contact the election office listed on your ballot notice for accessibility requests and special ballots.
  • If you cannot reach your polling place due to mobility issues, ask about mobile or at-home voting options before election day.
