voter information

Voters’ List

  • Elections Ontario is responsible for maintaining the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as the Voters' List. In order to vote in the upcoming Municipal or Provincial Election, you must be on the Voters' List.

  • Confirm, update or add your information through Election Ontario's RegisterToVoteON.ca by August 12, 2026. Your name must be on the Voters' List in order to cast a ballot.

Updating School Support

  • What is school support? Whether you own or rent your home, your property is linked to a school board – even if you don’t have children or your children aren’t currently attending school. While you’re not required to make a designation, you do have the option to choose which school board you support. If you don’t make a choice, your support will default to the English-Public school board.

  • To ensure your correct school support designation is provided to Elections Ontario in time for the municipal and school board elections on October 26, 2026, it should be reviewed and, if needed, updated by June 1, 2026. 

  • While Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors in Ontario for municipal and school board elections, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is legislatively required to collect school support information.

  • You can update your school support designation through MPAC's Online School Support Designation webpage.
