Voters List Information

Check Your Voter Registration

The most important thing you can do right now is make sure your voter information is up to date.

Confirm your voter registration status, at http://grimsby.voterservices.ca

Voter Information Letters will be mailed before the end of September. When yours arrives, be sure to keep it in a safe place, as it contains important information about your voting options, including everything you'll need to cast your ballot online.

Use the Towns Voter Registration portal to:

Confirm that you're registered to vote
Update your name or address
Add yourself to the Voters' List
Remove outdated information

You should check your information if you have:

Moved or changed your address
Changed your name
Purchased or rented a new property
Sold a property or moved away
Never voted in an Ontario election before

If not already registered, after going through the registration process you will be prompted to visit Town Hall if you would like a Voter Information Letter for the purpose of voting online. At Town Hall you must provide identification that contains your qualifying address in order to receive your Letter.

Electors also have the option of filing out their information in-person at Town Hall through an EL15 form. Identification showing an individuals qualifying address will be a requirement once more in order to be placed on the Voters' List.

Moved? No Longer a Resident?

If you have received a Voter Information Letter from any Election for someone who has moved, or is no longer a resident at your address, it is extremely important that you return that letter, unopened, in the mail. Mark on the envelope "Return to Sender - Moved" or "Return to Sender - Deceased", and elections staff will deactivate the PIN (and/or remove the elector from the Voters' List) after a verification process.
