How to Vote Online

The 2026 Municipal Election will be conducted using online voting, which means all ballots will be cast electronically.

Residents can vote from anywhere using their own computer, tablet, or smartphone. Alternatively, they can visit a voter assistance centre and use a computer provided by the City; staff will be available to help those who need assistance.

Please watch the video below for a full tutorial.

Casting Your Ballot

Voting via the Internet takes about 5 minutes and will require your Voting PIN and your date of birth.

Step 1

Before voting opens, you'll receive a Voter Information Letter in the mail to access your online ballot. This is where you will find the Voting Website Address and your unique Voting PIN.

Step 2

Visit the secure Voting Website using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Enter your unique Voting PIN and Date of Birth, then select Verify. The Voting period is open between 10 a.m. on October 15, 2026 and 8 p.m. on October 26, 2026. Please refer to your Voter Information Letter for the website link.

Step 3

Read the Declaration and Acknowledgment Statement. Once you've finished, select I Agree, then click Proceed.

Step 4

Select the candidate of your choice for each office or move through any acclaimed office by clicking Next.
