There will be a Municipal Election across Ontario, and within the Township of St. Clair on October 26, 2026. For the first time in our history, the Township will be using the Vote-by-Internet voting method. Each registered voter will be mailed a Voter’s Information Kit which will contain your personal identification code which you will use to cast your ballot.
Because of the use of the Vote-by-Internet voting method, it is critically important that you confirm you are on the voter’s list, and that your mailing information is accurate.
In order to qualify as an eligible elector for the 2026 Township of St. Clair Municipal Election, you must:
- Reside in the Township; or own land; or be a tenant of land within the Township; or be the spouse of owner or tenant;
- Be a Canadian citizen;
- Be at least 18 years of age on Voting Day (October 26, 2026)
- Not be prohibited from voting by the Municipal Elections Act or other legislation.

Updating your school support
June 1 was the deadline to update your school support designation so MPAC could provide accurate information to Elections Ontario for the creation of the Preliminary List of Electors, in accordance with election timelines. You can still update your designation after June 1 by:
- Contacting MPAC’s Customer Contact Centre, and receive a confirmation letter or
- Online via MPAC’s AboutMyProperty™ or tenant portal, and receive an auto generated confirmation email
Your change will be recorded by MPAC, but it will not appear on the Preliminary List of Electors. After submitting your update, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Share this with your municipality so your information can be updated on the final Voters List.
