Where to vote

Electors' advance and election day polling locations are identified within their voter information letter (which will be sent by mail, arriving in early October). While residents can visit any advance polling location on Oct. 12 or 15, on election day (Oct. 19) electors must visit the polling location identified on their voter information letter.

Electors who vote at an advance polling location will vote using an electronic kiosk; those who vote on election day will vote using a paper ballot.

Who can vote

It's a serious offence to vote in a municipal election if you are not eligible to do so. It's the responsibility of residents to ensure they meet eligibility requirements before participating in the voting process.
