You can check and confirm that your information is accurate for the upcoming municipal election by visiting https://www.elections.on.ca. You can login using your full name, date of birth, and property address or assessment roll number.  You may update any incorrect information on the site as well.

The databases for municipal elections are separate from those used for provincial elections. This means that you must update your information through the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) for the municipal election.  Updating this information will help to ensure that municipal Voters’ Lists are accurate and up-to-date in preparation for municipal and school board elections being held in October 2026.
