At the Voting Stations, Electors must complete an Elector Register form stating they are eligible to vote. You will put your name, address, choice of public or separate school trustee ballot - and sign the form. This will take approximately 2 minutes to complete at the Voting Station.

Should you choose, to save a step at the Voting Station, Electors may download the form in advance and turn in a hard copy at the Voting Station. Electors can vote at any Voting Station during the 2021 Municipal Election.
