Before you start: verify early.

ID verification and voting are separate stages. Once voting is open, your voting email can take 1 to 24 hours to arrive if you verify on a weekday. If you verify on a weekend, it may not arrive until the next business day.

STAGE 1 • NOV 4 TO NOV 19

VERIFY YOUR ID.

Most members can choose either option below. Two exceptions: if you share an email address with another member, you must verify in person. If you haven’t given the party your date of birth, you must use the mobile app.

OPTION A

Using the Canada Post Identity+ App

You’ll need a current Ontario Driver’s Licence or Ontario Photo Card.

  1. If the Identity+ app is already on your phone, uninstall it first.
  2. Download Identity+ from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
  3. Open the app and follow the instructions. Use the same email address as your OLP membership.
  4. At the last step, approve the request to share your information with the Ontario Liberal Party.
  5. Keep the app on your phone until you’ve finished voting in Stage 2.
OPTION B

In person, at a Canada Post location

Bring your ID and the personal OLP barcode emailed to you on November 4.

  1. Check the list of accepted ID documents.
  2. Make sure the name, address and date of birth on your ID match your OLP membership. Canada Post can’t change your membership details. If you’ve moved, contact the OLP Leadership Voting Help Desk first.
  3. Find the personal OLP barcode that was emailed to you on November 4.
  4. Take your barcode and your ID to a Canada Post location and have them scan the barcode.
