Voters’ List and Register to Vote
Elections Ontario is responsible for maintaining the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, also known as the Voters’ List. The Voters’ List is a list of individuals eligible to vote in provincial and local municipal elections in Ontario.
You can use Elections Ontario’s Voter Registration application to confirm, update or add your information if you:
- have changed your name or address
- own or rent a new property
- no longer own or rent a property
- want to remove your information
If you or your spouse own or rent property other than your home address in Ontario, you may be eligible to vote in more than one municipal election.
Visit Elections Ontario’s website to learn more about voter information, and other options including:
- removing yourself from the Register
- removing a deceased person from the Register
- adding yourself to the list of Future Voters (if you’re under 18 years of age)
The Ontario Register of Future Voters is designed for eligible 16 and 17-year-olds so that they will automatically be added to the Register when they turn 18.
Visit RegisterToVoteON.ca to learn about eligibility, ID requirements and how to register as a future voter.
