If you didn't get a voter card, you can get an electronic one by downloading the app. I did that and it was pretty painless. You still need to go to the polling station with a piece of ID but the app generates a bar code they scan and you're in and out of there pretty quick.

What if you don't have something that can download and use apps?

You don't need a voting card to vote. If you don't have a voting card, you need a piece of ID with your name and address. If you have your voting card, you just need something with your name.

List of acceptable IDs can be found here: https://www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in-ontario/id-to-vote-in-provincial-elections.html#accordionIDtovote

I know, I was being cheeky with my question because I thought it was weird to tell people about an app to get a voter card when you don't need one to begin with.

Thank you for providing the information under my silliness. :)

fwiw it does actually tell you where your polling station is, which I was confused about after finding conflicting info online.
