Why did I receive more than one Voter Information Letter (VIL) and PIN?

If you received more than one VIL, each with a unique voting PIN, it is because your name appeared on the Voters’ List more than once. This rare situation might occur if you have recently moved and been counted in both locations, or if you own property and are the registered resident at both locations. You are only permitted to vote once in a municipality. Voting more than once is an offence and may result in penalties. Keep the VIL and PIN that most accurately matches your identification. Then take one of the following steps for the duplicate letter:

  • Dispose of it
  • Print ‘Duplicate – Return to Sender’ on it and drop it in any Canada Post mailbox
  • Bring it with you when you go to vote and give it to an election official, letting them know it’s a duplicate
  • Take it to any Greater Sudbury Citizen Service Centre or the One Stop Services counter located in Tom Davis Square during their regular business hours until the close of voting on Election Day and let them know it’s a duplicate.
