Voter Information

To view a list of all uncertified candidates, visit our Uncertified Candidates page. 

To vote in a municipal election, you must:

• Be a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years old.
• Be qualified to vote in the municipality by:
  • living in the municipality, or
  • owning or renting property in the municipality, or
  • being the spouse of somebody who owns or rents property in the municipality.
• Not be prohibited from voting according to Section 17 of the Municipal Elections Act (MEA).

Note: property must be personally owner or rented to vote in that municipality. Properties owned by a business or trust do not qualify.

University and College Students:

• Section 2 (2.1) of the MEA allows post-secondary students to vote in both the municipal election where they are attending school and the municipal election in their "home" municipality, provided they are residing in another municipality to attend a post-secondary institution and intend to return to their "home" municipality at the conclusion of their studies.

Registered voters will receive a Voter Notification Card in the mail in September. 

Identification is required when you vote. You will need to show ID which contains your name and address. You may have to show two pieces of ID to accomplish this. See the Acceptable Voter Identification section for more info.
