You are eligible to vote in the election for municipal council if you meet all of the following requirements:
you are a Canadian citizen
you are aged 18 or older
you qualify to vote in the municipality
There are three ways that you can qualify to vote in a municipality:
As a resident elector if you live in the municipality. You may own, rent, live in shared accommodation where you do not pay rent or live in the municipality but do not have a fixed address. Being a resident elector is the most common type of eligibility.
As a non-resident elector if you own or rent property in a municipality, but it’s not the one where you live. While you can be a resident elector in only one municipality (with the exception of students), you can be a non-resident elector in any other municipality (or municipalities) where you own or rent property.
As the spouse of a non-resident elector if your spouse owns or rents property in the municipality or municipalities other than the one where you live.
Voting in the 2026 Municipal & School Board Elections will be conducted online and by telephone only, through the secure digital voting platform Voatz.
In addition to voting from home or on personal devices, residents will also be able to visit a voter help centre, where they can receive in‑person support to cast their vote using the platform. The integration of Voatz’s technology aims to provide a reliable, user‑friendly and accessible voting experience for all eligible electors.
