Elections

Municipal and School Board Elections are held every four years on the 4th Monday of October.

The next Municipal and School Board Election will take place on October 26, 2026.

Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, also known as the “voters' list” or “register”.

The voters' list, contains information for individuals eligible to vote in provincial and local municipal elections in Ontario.

Learn more about the voter's list on Election Ontario's Register to Vote page, including how to:

  • Register voters
  • Register absentee voters
  • Register future voters

Use the Elections Ontario Register to Vote application to:

  • Confirm, update or add your name and home address
  • Search, add or remove a property other than your home address
  • Remove yourself from the register
  • Remove a deceased person from the register
  • Check the status of a request

The deadline to register or update your information through Elections Ontario is August 12, 2026; after which, you can do so through the Township's Legislative Services Division or on Election Day at the polls.

If you or your spouse own or rent property other than your home address in Ontario, you might be eligible to vote in more than one municipal election.

As of January 1, 2024, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is no longer responsible for collecting voter information for local elections. However, MPAC is legislatively required to collect school support designations.

As a property owner in Ontario, you are required to support a school system, even if you do not have children or your children are not currently attending school. This information can be found on your Property Assessment Notice.

Property owners can designate their school support through MPAC’s Online School Support page until June 1, 2026; after which, please do so by contacting the Township's Legislative Services Division.

For more information about school support designations, visit the MPAC website.
