VOTER QUALIFICATIONS

You can vote in your municipal election IF on October 25, 2010 you:

reside in the local municipality or are the owner or tenant of land there, or are the spouse of an owner or tenant;
if you are a Canadian citizen and you are at least 18 years old

Corporations can NOT vote. (e.g. Highlands or Strada).

You can only vote once in each municipality, but you CAN vote in more than one municipality if you meet the above noted criteria for each municipality.
For instance, you might live in Toronto, and also own a place here-you can vote in both places. (not applicable to time shares)

You should check to ensure you are on the voters list by calling your municipal Clerk-website links are on this site. If you aren't on the list, you will need to complete an application to amend the list-check with the Clerk as to how you do this.
And DON'T call the County of Dufferin. Upper tiers to do not have elections, only the lower tiers.

And REMEMBER-the only wasted vote is a vote not cast, so in the words of Richard J. Daley, "vote early and vote often"!!
