How to vote

To ensure secure electronic voting, the OLP offers two ways to verify your identity through Canada Post. Only members who have verified their identity can vote to choose our next leader and help shape Ontario’s future.

1Find the email from the Ontario Liberal Party

Subject: Start your voting process
From: Ontario Liberal Leadership Vote <leadership@ontarioliberal.ca>

2Verify your ID

Complete your verification by the date provided by email from the OLP.

On your phone

App Store Google Play

  1. Download Canada Post Identity+ and register with the email on file with OLP.
  2. In the app, enter and confirm the new code sent by Canada Post Identity+.
  3. In the app, take the selfie (proof of life), then scan your current Ontario driver’s licence or Ontario Photo Card.
  4. Confirm the verification, then approve sharing with OLP.
Existing app users

If your identity is already verified, open the app. Add a current Ontario licence or Photo Card if your approved ID is expired or is a different type. Approve sharing with OLP.

If the app uses a different email, reinstall it and register with your OLP membership email.

Keep the app installed and phone security settings unchanged until you vote.

If your ID is rejected or sharing is not offered, verify in person.

At Canada Post

  1. Check the OLP accepted-ID list in your verification email. Bring one Option A document proving identity and residence, or two Option B documents: one for identity and one for residence.
  2. Get your personal barcode from the OLP verification email. Print it or show it on your phone.
  3. Bring your barcode and ID to a Canada Post location offering ID verification. Ask staff to verify your identity.

Your name, address and date of birth must match your OLP membership. If you have moved, email leadership@ontarioliberal.ca before going. Canada Post cannot update your membership.

3Wait for the email

The voting email arrives after ID verification and once voting opens. It may take 1–24 hours.

Once voting is open, if the email has not arrived within 24 hours of verification, check spam, then email leadership@ontarioliberal.ca.

4Vote

  1. On your phone, open the OLP voting site and sign in with Canada Post Identity+.
  2. Enter your personal Identity+ ID from the OLP voting email.
  3. Open the Identity+ app, select the confirmation code shown on the voting site, then tap Approve.
  4. Return to the ballot, rank candidates and select Continue. You do not have to rank everyone.
  5. Review your choices and select Confirm. Wait for the message confirming that your vote has been recorded.

Submit before the deadline in your OLP voting email.
