What must you bring to the polling station on election day?

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence inside its election-day instructions. The guide writes: Go to your polling station. The location is on your voter information card. Bring this card and proof of your identity and address to the polling station. The two items the test wants are therefore your voter information card and proof of identity.

Three pieces actually fit together. Discover Canada's sentence asks for: (1) the voter information card, (2) proof of your identity, and (3) proof of your address. So strictly speaking the guide asks for three things — but the test answer collapses identity and address into "proof of identity."

The voter information card is the gateway to the polling station. Discover Canada notes that "the location is on your voter information card." So before election day, the card tells you where to go; on election day, the card is also one of the items you bring with you. The card therefore plays a double role — direction and identification.

Once at the polling station, the next step is the secret ballot. Discover Canada writes: "Your vote is secret. You will be invited to go behind the screen to mark your ballot. Once marked, fold it and present it to the poll officials." So bringing the right items lets you cross the threshold; the rest of the process — the secret ballot — is what Discover Canada calls the constitutional right of every Canadian voter.

The question is testing whether new citizens know what to bring to vote. Discover Canada commits to one specific list: the voter information card plus proof of identity (and address). The right test answer matches that pair.

The wrong answer choices each describe an inadequate or irrelevant set. A credit card alone does not satisfy Discover Canada's requirement; a passport alone is incomplete (the voter information card is also expected); and "nothing is required" contradicts the explicit instructions in the guide.
