Information for Voters

Notice of Election 2022


The next Ontario Municipal and School Board Elections are being held on October 24, 2022.

 

Voter Information Letters have been mailed, and should be delivered to eligible voters in early October.  

The voting period for the 2022 Municipal & School Board Election runs October 14th 2022 at 8:30 a.m. to October 24th 2022 at 8 p.m.

If you do not receive your Voter Information Letter by October 13th 2022 please contact the Clerk's Department at 519-845-3939 or election@plympton-wyoming.ca or attend the Municipal Office at 546 Niagara Street in Wyoming.

 

 Are you Eligible to Vote ?

You are eligible to vote in the election if you meet all of the following requirements on election day:

  • you are aged 18 or older
  • you are a Canadian citizen
  • you are a resident of the municipality, or non-resident owner or tenant of land located in the municipality, or the spouse of an owner or tenant of land located in the municipality
  • not legally prohibited from voting

Neither you nor your spouse qualify as a non-resident elector if you do not personally own or rent the property in the municipality. For example: if the property is owned by your business or your cottage is owned by a trust, you are not qualified as a non-resident elector.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has prepared a 2022 Voter's Guide which provides information for eligible electors (voters).

Are you on the Voters List ?  

In order to cast a ballot, your name must be on the voters list.

The voters’ list is a list of eligible electors in the Town of Plympton-Wyoming.  During an election cycle, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for preparing the preliminary list of electors for each municipality and school board in Ontario. It is MPAC’s Municipal Property Assessment database of property owners and tenants that is used to prepare this preliminary list, which aids in the preparation of the final voters’ list for Election Day.

It is important to check to see if your voter information is correct, especially if you have moved or changed your name since the last election.   Even if you have recently voted in the provincial election, we encourage you to ensure that the Town of Plympton-Wyoming has the current voter information for you.  

Voters are able to attend the municipal office at 546 Niagara Street Wyoming, ON to complete the required Application to Amend the Voters List. To amend the list, you must have acceptable identification. Acceptable Identification for voting purposes includes an Ontario driver's license, an Ontario Health Card, an insurance policy or statement or any other document included on the acceptable documents for voter identification list.

We all play a role in ensuring a fair electoral system, and it is the responsibility of every elector to make sure their information is up-to-date and accurately reflected for electoral purposes.
