Voting locations and times
As a Canadian citizen, voting is your right and responsibility. Your community is shaped by the outcome of an election.
The individuals who are elected will make many important decisions including how tax dollars are spent in your community.
If you meet all of the following conditions, you are eligible to vote in the 2018 Mississauga municipal election:
Bring your identification (ID) when you go to vote.
If your name is on the Voters' List, you will need to show one piece of identification that has your name and address on it in order to receive a ballot.
Your Voter Notification Card cannot be used as a piece of ID.
Acceptable Identification includes an Ontario driver's license, an Ontario Photo Card, a cancelled personalized cheque, an insurance policy or statement or any other document included on the acceptable documents for voter identification list.
The Voters' List is a list of people who are eligible to vote in the 2018 Municipal Election.
The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) provides a list of electors to the City of Mississauga in July. The City of Mississauga uses this list to prepare the Voters' List for voting days. If your name is on the Voters' List, you will receive a Voter Notification Letter in the mail with the voting days and selected voting locations. Make sure you bring this letter with you to vote as it will speed up the time it takes to vote.
If you are an eligible elector, you can add yourself to the Voters' List or update your information by completing a Voters’ List Revision Form.
To complete the Voters’ List Revision Form, you must bring acceptable identification to the Office of the City Clerk, 2nd Floor, Civic Centre, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga, during regular business hours. You can also bring your ID to any voting location in the City of Mississauga on Advance Poll Days or any voting location in the Ward that you live in on Election Day to make a revision to your information on the Voters’ List.
The Voters' Guide from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs gives information about voting in municipal and school board elections.
If you are unable to vote either in the Advance Poll or on Election Day, you can select someone to vote on your behalf. This person must be a qualified elector within the City of Mississauga.
To select someone and provide them with voting proxy, both you and the person you wish to select must fill out an Appointment of Voting Proxy form.
Instructions on how to do this are included on the Appointment of Voting Proxy form. Appointment of Voting Proxy forms will be available after 4 p.m. on July 30, 2018.
A Voter Notification Letter contains your information, important voting information and a statement of elector eligibility. If you are already on the Voters' List, you will receive a Voter Notification Letter in the mail prior to the municipal election. The Letter is not a form of identification.
If you would like to help promote the upcoming municipal election, please download the attached toolkit and use the promotional items as you wish. Included in this toolkit are election posters and digital promotional assets.
Nominations for the 2018 municipal and school board elections are open from Tuesday, May 1, 2018 to Friday, July 27, 2018 at 2 p.m.
As nominations are received, the Who is Running page will be updated.
