CBC's Sarah Leavitt breaks down the difference between borough and city council, and who is responsible for which services.

When you can vote

The general election is being held this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. And don't forget, Sunday marks the end of daylight saving time, so remember to set your clock back so you don't show up too early.

What you need to bring

You need at least one piece of identification with your photo on it, such as your driver's licence, health-care card or Canadian passport. You can also bring your certificate of lndian status or Canadian Forces Identification card.

Élection Montréal also suggests bringing your reminder card, since it will help staff quickly find your name on the list, although it's not necessary to have it with you in order to vote.

Where you can vote

If you're not sure where your local polling station is, you can check on Élection Montréal's website, inputting your postal code.

There are 470 voting sites and 3,380 polling stations in Montreal.

And bring your kids — they can vote alongside their parents at certain polling stations.
