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.

To vote in Leamington's Municipal Election, you must be a qualified elector. That means you must be:

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.

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.

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.
