You can check, update and confirm that your information is accurately recorded for upcoming municipal elections by visiting voterlookup.ca. You can login using your full name, date of birth and property address or assessment roll number. The databases for municipal elections are separate from those used for provincial elections. This means that you must update your information through the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) for the municipal election.  Updating this information will help to ensure that municipal Voters’ Lists are accurate and up-to-date in preparation for municipal and school board elections to be held in October 2022.
