Page "Elections in Canada" Paragraph 13

The federal National Register of Electors is updated to reflect various changes in the Canadian population, including address changes, reaching voting age, naturalization, and death.

Every year, about 3, 000, 000 address changes are processed by Elections Canada from information obtained from the Canada Revenue Agency, Canada Post ( via the National Change of Address service ), provincial and territorial motor vehicle registrars, and provincial electoral agencies with permanent voters lists.

Every year, about 400, 000 Canadians reach voting age and 200, 000 Canadians die, resulting in changes to the National Register of Electors based on information obtained from the Canada Revenue Agency, provincial and territorial motor vehicle registrars, and provincial electoral agencies with permanent voters lists.

Additionally, 120, 000 individuals a year become naturalised Canadians, and are added to the National Register of Electors by Elections Canada based on information obtained from Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
