Register for Local and Provincial Elections, all in one place
Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, also known as the “Voters' List” or “Register”.
The Voters' List, contains information for individuals eligible to vote in Provincial and Local Municipal Elections in Ontario. Learn more about the Voter's List on Election Ontario's Register to Vote page, including how to:
Search, add or remove a property other than your home address
Remove yourself from the register
Remove a deceased person from the register
Check the status of a request
If you or your spouse own or rent property other than your home address in Ontario, you might be eligible to vote in more than one Municipal Election.
Student Voters
For Local Municipal Elections, students are entitled to vote in multiple Municipalities if their permanent home and temporary student home are in different Municipalities or Territory Without Municipal Organization areas.
Students can update or add their “home address” to the Voter’s List as their permanent family home and list their temporary student home as an additional property they, or their spouse, own or rent.
School Support
As of January 1, 2024, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is no longer responsible for collecting voter information for local Elections. However, MPAC is legislatively required to collect school support designations.
As a property owner in Ontario, you are required to support a school system, even if you do not have children or your children are not currently attending school.
This information can be found on your Property Assessment Notice.
For more information about school support designations, visit the MPAC website.
