Voters List - How to Update Your Information
Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as the Register or Voters List. This list includes individuals who are eligible to vote in provincial and municipal elections across Ontario.
You can use
Elections Ontario's Voter Registration application to confirm, update, or add your information if you:
- Changed your name or address

- No longer own or rent a property
- Want to remove your information from the Register
Updating Your School Support
As of January 1, 2024, the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is no longer responsible for collecting voter information for municipal elections. However, MPAC is required to collect school support information.
Property owners in Ontario must designate support for a school system, even if they do not have children or if their children do not currently attend school. This designation appears on your Property Assessment Notice.
You can update your school support designation through MPAC's Online School Support Tool. To learn more about school support, visit the MPAC website.
