Am I on the voters list?

It's quick and easy to check your voter information!

The municipal voters list is different from provincial and federal lists. So, even if you received a voter's card for the recent federal and provincial elections, it doesn't automatically mean you will be on the municipal voters list, especially if your information has changed. For municipal elections the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation - MPAC is responsible for collecting the information of residents in Ontario, such as name, date of birth, citizenship and school support, in order to create a preliminary list of electors. Municipalities then use that preliminary list of electors to prepare their voters lists.
