To vote online, you must receive a voter information letter (VIL). All Kingston residents on the voters' list as of mid-September should receive a VIL. The VIL contains your voter registration number and steps to complete the online voting process, including the website address.
To complete the online voting process, voters will follow a two-step verification process via email or text message.
Free Transportation to voting places
You can ride Kingston Transit and Kingston Access Bus for free on Advance Voting Days and Voting Day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you take Kingston Transit, show your Voter Information Letter on your way to and from your voting place.
Residents who are signed up for Kingston Access Bus can get free rides. When you book your trip, you'll need to say which voting place you're going to.
What do I need to vote?
The key to a quick and easy in person voting experience is to be on the Voters' List. If you are on the Voters' List you will receive your Voter Information Notice (VIN) a few weeks before Voting Day. Your VIN provides the location of your voting place and your unique Voter Identification Number that allows you to register and receive a PIN number in order to access internet voting.
For in person voting, simply bring your Voter Information Notice and appropriate ID to your voting place and you will be issued your ballot.
