We cast our election ballot late last week at the Elections Canada office. It is located in the former Medical Clinic just north of Princess & 6th. It was very easy to do: no hassle. Just needed our drivers licence and one other piece of ID that specified our address or residence. Your are required to print the name of your Candidate that you are voting for, not the name of the Party. The ballot is folded and placed into a couple of envelopes before it is placed into the voters box. It is then forwarded to your polling station on election day.  
Take advantage of this and you will not miss out on fulfilling your voting duties. Heaven knows whether you will be present in Brandon on voting day, or some other event prevents you from finding the time to cast your ballot.  
I believe that their offices are open from 9 am to 9 pm during the weekdays. Weekend I am not sure of their schedule.

What happens if you are illiterate and/or cannot read or write?

How did you even vote if not all the candidates have been nominated yet?

I should think that it is your responsibility to ask for help if you have any questions or concerns. Just make sure that your concerns are answered before you are about to cast your vote. The Elections Canada personnel are their to help you; it never hurts to ask for help if you have questions or concerns.

A list of candidates was available at the booth when we went to their office. It would certainly help you if you made the effort to find out the name of the person before hand so that you cast your ballot for the person representing your preferred party. Call the national office of the said party if you are still in doubt. You can Google the various parties to find out who is representing them in the Brandon - Souris riding.
