Municipal & School Board Election Voter Information 

The following information is being shared on behalf of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC):  

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for collecting the information of residents in Ontario (name, date of birth, citizenship and school support) in order to create a preliminary list of electors for municipal and school board elections. Municipalities will use the preliminary list of electors to prepare their voters lists for the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections. 

One of the ways MPAC collects this information is through voterlookup.ca. Here, Ontarians can add their name and the names of other members of their household to a secure database and confirm or update their information. 

The upcoming year will be a busy one for Ontario voters, with the Ontario Provincial Election and Municipal and School Board Elections happening just a few months apart. Make sure you are on the list to vote in the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections on October 24. Register and verify your information at voterlookup.ca.

We hope you have a safe and happy winter break and wish you all the best in 2022.
