To vote in the 2018 Municipal Election, you will need to make sure that your name is on the Voters’ List!

You will be asked to complete an Application to Amend the Voters’ List Form and provide identification. A Voter Notification Card will be delivered to your home with additional Election Day information.

We urge voters to have their name added to the Voters' List before going to vote.  It also helps to reduce wait time at a Voting Location.
