The non-binding vote asks Calgarians whether they are for or against Calgary hosting the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

But first, there are a few things to know.

Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. You must vote at your designated voting station (in the voting subdivision in which you live), which can be found by visiting vote2018.calgary.ca/When-and-where-to-vote.html and entering your home address.

There is no need to register in advance to vote.

Once at the voting station, all voters will be required to sign a statement confirming they meet the qualifications to vote. This includes being at least 18 years old and a Canadian citizen, having resided in Alberta for at least six consecutive months before the plebiscite and being a current resident of a ward within Calgary.
