Where do I vote?
Township Council approved the use of Internet and Telephone voting methods for the 2026 Municipal Election. This voting method was previously used in the 2018/2022 Municipal Election. These voting methods replaced the Vote-By-Mail method used during the 2014 Municipal Election. Internet and telephone voting is fast and convenient, and will give voters the opportunity to cast their ballots from anywhere using a computer, smart phone, tablet, or touchtone telephone 24-hours a day throughout the voting period.
Whether an elector is away on personal travel, suffering from an illness, working days or nights, has a disability or difficulty travelling, they may cast their ballot from anywhere with an internet connection or a telephone. Additionally, voters will no longer need to get in their cars and travel to polling locations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and no ballots will need to be printed which reduces the amount of paper needed for the election.
Telephone voting is comparable to telephone banking and is like Internet voting. However, voters make their selections by touchtone phone. Telephone voting is not compatible with rotary dial phones.
During the voting period, Township staff will be available to help voters by phone or at the Voter Help Centre to check to see if they are on the voters' list, add or amend their information on the list, help them to use a computer to vote, or to answer any questions about the election or voting process.
