No, this is a enumerated list of voters. Canadians don’t have to register to vote. Just show up , identify themselves, mark the ballot , drop it in the box and get on with living.

Just to be precise, Canadians are registered to vote. Other than for a recent change of address, say, there's no additional work that I as a voter need to do to be eligible to vote. No need for voter registration drives up here.

There is a database of eligible voters called the National Register of Electors, which is compiled from data shared by various government agencies: tax returns, driver's licences, citizenship applications, and so forth.

When I walk into the polling place, my name is already on their rolls, and when I receive my ballot, it's crossed off the list.
