MPAC's Role in Municipal and School Board Elections
MPAC is responsible for providing a Preliminary list of Electors, which is used by municipalities to create the “Voters List” for all municipal and school board elections.*
The list is based on information from our property assessment database, as well as other data sources available to us, including the Land Registry Office, National Register of Electors, Elections Ontario and the Ministry of Government Services.
You may have questions about why, or why not, you were included on the list for eligible electors.
The answer may be that MPAC does not have the most current information for you on file. MPAC created VoterLookUp.ca to provide residents with an easy way to confirm and update their information for municipal and school board elections.
Eligible voters can confirm or update their information, add additional names to an address, or change their school support for electoral purposes. If you would like to remove a name from the voter's list that is identified at your property, please call us at the number below.
School Support
Your designated School Support has two main purposes:
Assessment purposes to determine education tax allocations; and
Electoral purposes for voting
By default, your property taxes support your municipality's English public school board. However, you may be able to change the school board (English public, English separate, French public or French separate) that your taxes support if you are eligible. To learn more about eligibility requirements, visit www.mpac.ca/schoolsupport.
Any changes you made to your School Support as part of the local municipal election are for electoral purposes only. To change your school board designation for Assessment Purposes, contact your local school board to obtain an Application for Direction of School Support form.
