New Vote Registration with Elections Ontario

Now you can register to vote in both provincial and local elections, all in one place. 

In January 2024, Elections Ontario became responsible for maintaining the Permanent Register of Elections for Ontario. This will be used to develop the Voters List for municipal and provincial elections in Ontario. 

RegisterToVoteON.ca is where you’ll find information on eligibility, registration and how to confirm, update or add yourself to the Register. 

For questions related to voter registration, you can contact Elections Ontario email info@registertovoteon.ca or call 1.866.242.3025.

The next municipal election will be held October 26, 2026.

School Support Information

Please note that The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) will remain responsible for collecting school support information from eligible electors. Individuals are encouraged to use MPAC’s online tool to review their school support designation at https://school-support.mpac.ca/
