Changes to the Voters List are CLOSED. (As of September 22, 2026)


VOTER ELIGIBILITY:

A person is eligible to have his or her name added to the Voters List if he or she is:

1)    a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years of age on election day; and

2)    a resident of the local authority for at least six months prior to election day, OR a registered owner of land in the municipality for at least six months prior to election day.

Please note: if you have not added your name to the voters list but you are eligible to vote, you may still go to your polling station with the proper identification and vote.


APPLICATION FOR PERSONAL SECURITY PROTECTION

A voter may apply in writing to the SEO (at the address/email below) no later than September 22, 2026, to have their name and other personal information omitted or obscured from the voters list to protect the voter’s personal security. A person whose name has been obscured will receive a Personal Security Certificate and identification number. That person may only vote by Sealed Envelope Ballot and cannot vote in person at the regular or advance voting places. The application may be submitted in person or by e-mail and must include your name, address and include proof of identity. 


VOTING AS A NON-RESIDENT VOTER

A maximum of two non-resident property owners, per property, are permitted to vote in a municipal election. In order to vote, each of these voters must obtain written consent from a majority of the registered landowners, and file this with the senior election official. Consent forms can be obtained from the senior election official and must be presented at the time of voting. 

When voting, you may also be required to provide proof of ownership to the voting official. Ensure you bring proof of ownership with you when voting.


Note: All changes to the voters list must be completed on or before September 22, 2026.
