Option 3: If you don't have ID
You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you.

The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions).

Let's also understand, it's only a problem now that we know that it has been abused by foreign entities. I expect Liberals may change this as well as other parties now that foreign abuse into our democratic process has been made public.
Yeah their is an interesting debate on whether non-citizens should be able to select the party candidate at all. In uncontested ridings like Alberta those are the defacto elections. We really should have an open primary process to select candidates.
