Are you on the Voters' List?

It is the responsibility of the Elector to ensure they are a qualified elector. 

Frequently Asked Questions

 Am I on the Voters' List?
 Elections Ontario is responsible for maintaining the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as the Register or Voters’ List. The Voters’ List, is a list of individuals eligible to vote in provincial and local municipal elections in Ontario.

You can use Elections Ontario’s Voter Registration application to confirm, update or add your information if you:

  • have changed your name or address
  • own or rent a new property
  • no longer own or rent a property
  • want to remove your information

 

If you or your spouse own or rent property other than your home address in Ontario, you may be eligible to vote in more than one municipal election.

Visit Elections Ontario's website to learn more about voter information, and other options including:

  • removing yourself from the Register
  • removing a deceased person from the Register
  • adding yourself to the list of Future Voters (if you’re under 18 years of age)
Are You an Eligible Voter?

To vote in the municipal election, you must be a qualified elector.  That means you must be:

  • a resident of the Municipality of Leamington or a non-resident owner or tenant of lands in Leamington or the spouse of such non-resident owner or tenant; 
  • a Canadian citizen;
  • at least 18 years of age; and
  • not prohibited from voting by law

 

The following individuals are prohibited from voting:

  • any person who is not qualified;
  • a person who is serving a sentence or imprisonment in a penal or correctional institution;
  • a corporation;
  • a person acting as executor or trustee or in any other representative capacity;
  • a person who has been convicted of corrupt practices under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 if voting day in the current election is less than five years after voting day in the election in respect of which he or she was convicted; or
  • anyone who is prohibited by law from voting
 Register of Future Voters
 The Ontario Register of Future Voters is designed for eligible 16 and 17-year-olds so that they will automatically be added to the Register when they turn 18. Visit RegisterToVoteON.ca  to learn about eligibility, ID requirements and how to register as a future voter.
 Students
 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 Register as their permanent family home and list their temporary student home as an additional property they, or their spouse, own or rent.
 Updating Your School Support
 As of January 1, 2024, the 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 information. You can update your school support designation  through MPAC’s Online School Support Tool .

 

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.

 

Learn more about school support by visiting MPAC .
