The official Elector List for Municipal and School Board Elections is maintained by Elections Ontario and anyone can check to see if they are on the list, or update their information, by visiting the Elections Ontario website Voter Registration page at  https://vreg.registertovoteon.ca/. Once this list is delivered to the Municipality, typically by mid-August in the year of the election, you should check with the Municipality to see if  you are on the list.  You can call the municipality, and they can check to see if you are on the list, and some municipalities have on their website, a section that allows you to check to see if your name is on the list they currently have.

Once the election period has started, eligible electors who are not on the official Elector List will have to go to a location designated by the Election Official and complete the required form to have their name added to the Elector List.
