Municipal election voter registration deadline a week away

Those looking to cast their ballot can do so more quickly and efficiently can do their part by registering before the deadline on August 15th.

The city says registering ahead of time helps ensure a faster, smoother voting experience on election day, reducing wait times, paperwork, and congestion at polling stations.

VoterLink allows residents to easily confirm whether they are already registered, or allow them to register in less than five minutes.

If you don’t register ahead of time, you can still vote in the election., but could face delays due to longer lines and additional paperwork needs.

In 2024, the Province’s Local Authorities Election Act began requiring all municipalities to create and maintain a Permanent Electors Register. This register, used in conjunction with valid identification, allows election officials to efficiently verify voter eligibility for the General Election on October 20th.
