*Elections Canada is suggesting these applications be sent by fax*
- Application must be received by the Elections Canada office by October 20th at 6pm, this means, if you are sending in your application by mail, it must be posted in time for it to arrive before 6pm on October 20th.
- Your request will then be processed by Elections Canada and you will be sent a ballot to fill out and MAIL back to the local Elections Canada office. For Toronto Centre the address is:

The most common reason for a mail-in ballot being denied is an unclear picture that Elections Canada staff cannot read, so make sure the copy is clear and can be read.
