A polling station is the designated location where eligible voters cast their ballots on election day. Polling stations are typically set up in accessible community buildings like schools, community centres, churches, or libraries. Each voter is assigned to a specific polling station based on their home address. At the station, election officials verify voter identity, provide ballots, and ensure voting secrecy. Poll workers cannot influence how you vote and must remain neutral. In Canada, Elections Canada runs federal polling stations, while provincial and municipal elections are administered by their respective electoral bodies.
