Qualifications:

All voters have to register. You can do this on the day of the election, but you’ll avoid the bigger line-ups if you do it beforehand at the SUB. You must have three pieces of identification with your signature and your New Brunswick address.
What if I’m from Bathurst but would rather vote in STU’s riding (Fredericton-Lincoln)?
You can do this. Students originally from New Brunswick have the option of voting in their home riding or Fredericton-Lincoln.
My driver’s license says Nova Scotia, but I feel like a New Brunswicker when I go to STU eight months a year.
You can vote too! Even if you just moved back to the province at the beginning of the month, last year’s school months count as the 40-day qualification. When registering, simply bring identification from your home province as well as three documents (i.e. utility bill, power bill, lease agreement) that have your current NB address on them.
I live in residence, but I don’t have anything to prove it.
Get a note from your Residence Life! Your RA will sign a document that clarifies the address or your residence at your NB university. Bring this as well as identification to the registration booth!
Great news for students!.
You don’t have to wait until the election date to vote! Just head on down to the SUB, and you can register and vote right then and there!
