Own multiple properties?

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

Pursuant to the Municipal Elections Act (“MEA”), the municipal Clerk is responsible for conducting the municipal election and establishing all procedures and forms and providing for any matters necessary for conducting the election. 

The Council of a local municipality may pass by-laws:

• authorizing the use of voting and vote-counting equipment such as voting machines, voting recorders or optical scanning vote tabulators.
• authorizing electors to use an alternative voting method, such as voting by mail or by telephone, that does not require electors to attend a voting place to vote.

The MEA requires the municipal Council to pass a by-law for use of voting and vote-counting equipment, authorizing electors to use an alternative voting method and circumstances in which the municipal Clerk shall hold a recount on or before May 1st in the year of the election.

Following the precedent-setting voter turnout of 2022, the Town of Wasaga Beach has adopted the same hybrid approach to the 2026 Municipal Election with both traditional in-person voting by tabulator and online Internet Voting.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has a number of online resources for potential candidates on their website. AMO is also offering a series of workshops for potential candidates.
