Canadian citizens living outside
Canada can still vote, provided they meet a few criteria (Generally, you have
lived in Canada within the last 5 years, or are an employee of the Canadian
Forces, the Canadian Embassy, or other governmental agencies. You also
have to 'intend to return to live in Canada' - but there is no time frame or
consequence to this, so you can vote even if you don't plan on moving back to
Canada any time soon - or ever really).
To see if you qualify and to
generate the form needed to apply for a special ballot, go to Elections
Canada. It takes a while for the special
ballot application to be processed and the ballot to get to you, so I would
suggest that you send it in ASAP. Remember your completed ballot has to
arrive in Ottawa before election day, as well, so make sure you mail it in good time.
