Under the agreement, a list of 5,512 prospective city voters whose addresses are questionable will be distributed to polling places.

Those on the list who show up to vote will be asked to fill out a change of address card or registration form, and to show proof of residency - a driver's license, utility bill or some other document showing an address - before casting their ballot.

Anyone without proof of residency at an address on the list will have to take an oath, and that person's ballot will be marked as being challenged by the poll worker.

Langley said city elections officials decided the list of 5,512 was something they could handle and distribute to poll workers. Prospective voters on the list will be identified by ward and in alphabetical order.
