Councillors are elected only by the voters of their division. Your property tax notice tells you which division you vote in.

What you need
Your ID must show your name and address. The best choice is government photo ID with both, such as a Saskatchewan driver's licence or SGI photo ID card.

A Canadian passport does not count as photo ID on its own because it has no address, but you can use it with another document showing your name and address.

Without photo ID, bring two documents that both show your name, with at least one showing your address, such as a utility bill or bank statement.
