Available on microfilm, they are arranged by '''electoral district'''. See ''Tracing Your Ancestors in Canada'', page 17. The ANQ holds some Poll Books, most would be at regional branches.

+::The National Registration File of 1940 resulted from the compulsory registration of all persons, 16 years of age or older, in the period from 1940 to 1946. This information was originally obtained under the authority of The National Resources Mobilization Act and the War Measures Act. Custody of the records was subsequently given to Statistics Canada, then known as the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
-Also by '''electoral district and polling division''' are the 1940 National Registration Records are held by Statistics Canada. Having been compiled under the War Measures Act, once a person has been dead for twenty years, or was born over 110 years ago, these can be released - for a fairly hefty fee. There are a number of caveats , but for anyone over 16 in 1940, or who turned 16 in the next few years, it is a fairly recently available source with a great deal of information.
+::As a result, the National Registration File of 1940 is not subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act but is instead covered by the Privacy Act. According to this Act, when a person has been dead for more than 20 years, the information is no longer considered to be personal and can be disclosed. A proof that the individual has been deceased for more than twenty years is requested (A death certificate is preferable. However, any document which indicates the date of death, for example an obituary notice, is acceptable.); please note that if 110 years have passed since the date of birth, we do not require proof of death.
