Voter Information

Ottawa's municipal election will be held on Monday, October 25, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

All voters will be required to present a prescribed proof of identity and residence in order to receive a ballot at their voting location. This is a new requirement introduced by the Province of Ontario. Voters who cannot present an acceptable proof of identity and residence will have to complete an application and make a statutory declaration which may delay the voting process.

The City of Ottawa's voters' list is compiled from information received from Ontario's Municipal Property Assessment Corporation and will be available for review at the City's Elections Office and Client Service Centres from Tuesday, September 7 to Monday, October 25, 2010, during normal business hours. If you are not on the voters' list, you will be required to complete an application to add your name to the voters' list.

Advanced Polls

If you are going to be out of town or it's more convenient to vote on another day, you will be able to do so on Advance Voting Days. The two Advance Voting Days are:

Saturday, October 2, 2010, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and
Thursday, October 14, 2010, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
