I am moving this summer from Ward A in my municipality to Ward B. Will I be able to vote in Ward B even though I have lived in the ward for less than 6 months on Election Day?

A qualified resident voter's name must be placed on the voters list for the ward in which he or she resides. A person must be a resident of the municipality for at least 6 months before Election Day to qualify as a resident voter - there is no term of residency requirement to vote in a ward. As long as a person qualifies as a registered voter in the municipality, that person also qualifies to vote in the ward in which they reside on Election Day.

 

If you move from one ward to another within your municipality, contact your SEO to ensure that your name is included on the voter’s list correctly. The SEO may update the voters list until the close of nominations on September 22, 2026.
