Eligibility to register for municipal elections

To be eligible to register for a municipal election, you must be:

• 18 years of age or older;
• a Canadian citizen; and
• a resident of the municipality; or
• a non-resident who owns or rents property in the municipality; or
• the spouse of an owner or tenant of property in the municipality

Use Voter Registration to check, update, add or remove your voter information and/or property from the voters list. You will need to upload ID and/or property documentation.

Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form.

You can be a resident in only one municipality or unorganized territory in a Northern Ontario district unless you are a student.

If you or your spouse own or rent property other than your home address in Ontario, you may be eligible to vote in more than one municipal, district social services administration board and/or school board election.
