Voters’ List

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) prepares the preliminary list of electors for each municipality and school board in Ontario. Once the Municipality has its preliminary list of electors, the revision period begins, and electors may add their name or make changes directly with the municipality. You are encouraged to use MPAC’s online tool, voterlookup.ca, to confirm whether you are on the preliminary list of electors for the upcoming municipal elections. This tool can also be used to make updates to your information, to add a name to the enumeration, and to change school support for electoral purposes.
