March 26, 2025
To: All MoveUP Members
A federal election has been called, and Election Day is April 28. Your vote is your voice—let’s make it count!
Why This Election Matters for Workers
MoveUP, through our affiliation with the Canadian Labour Congress, is proud to support the NDP—the only party that has consistently fought for working people and their families.
The NDP has been a leader in:
- Raising the minimum wage and improving labour rights
- Preventing scab labour from undermining unionized workers
- Introducing national pharmacare and dental care
- Expanding affordable childcare
This election is a critical moment to elect leaders who will put working people first.

Voting by Mail?

What ID Do You Need to Vote?
To vote in person, you must show one of the following:
- Your driver’s license OR any government-issued card with your photo, name, and current address
- Two pieces of ID that include your name, and at least one must show your current address (e.g. a health card + bank statement, or a utility bill + student ID)
- No ID? No problem! You can still vote by declaring your identity and address in writing and having someone who knows you vouch for you.
