'We don't want to disenfranchise people'

Janice McKenzie, Vancouver's chief election officer, said that about 50 polling stations will be up throughout the city, down from 120 during a general election.

Around 700 people will be working at the locations and the city continues to hire people for the day.

Voters need two identifying documents to prove they are Vancouver residents, but there are a variety of alternatives available, including swearing adeclaration of identity.

"We don't want to disenfranchise people. We look at the nature of the ID, it's difficult to put everything down ... because there's different pieces of ID," said McKenzie.

Voter guides will be issued on Sept. 17, and advanced voting will take place on Oct. 4 and 10.
