Information for Voters

If you are an Ontario resident over the age of 18, you should confirm that you are on the voters' list. Verify that your information is correct and if necessary, change your school support for electoral purposes or add additional names of those who live at your address.

Updating this information will help ensure that municipal voters’ lists are accurate and up to date in preparation for the 2022 municipal and school board elections.

Am I eligible to vote?

You are eligible to vote in the election for municipal council if you meet all of the following requirements:

You are a Canadian citizen
You are aged 18 or older
You qualify to vote in the municipality
- There are three ways that you can qualify to vote in a municipality:
  (1.) As a resident elector if you live in the municipality. You may own, rent, live in shared accommodation where you do not pay rent or live in the municipality but do not have a fixed address. Being a resident elector is the most common type of eligibility.
  (2.) As a non-resident elector if you own or rent property in a municipality, but it’s not the one where you live. You can be a resident elector in only one municipality. However, you can be a non-resident elector in any other municipality (or municipalities) where you own or rent property.
  (3.) As the spouse of a non-resident elector if your spouse owns or rents

Students

There is a special rule for students who may be living away from home while they attend school.
If you are a student and consider your “home” to be the place where you live when you are not attending school (that is, you plan on returning there), then you are eligible to vote in both your “home” municipality and in the municipality where you live while attending school.

For further eligibility details, refer to the 2022 Voter's Guide provided by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in the drop-down below.
