Ontario municipal elections: Voting Day is 26 October 2026
In brief
Municipal councils and school boards across Ontario hold Voting Day on Monday 26 October 2026, according to ontario.ca. Each city clerk publishes its own advance-vote schedule, candidate lists and ID requirements, so voters should confirm locally rather than assuming Toronto rules apply everywhere.
Province-wide date
Ontario's municipal election calendar sets Voting Day for 26 October 2026 for councils and school boards. The province's municipal elections page points residents to local clerks for ballot details.
What to check before you go
- Whether you are on the voters list and how to add your name if not.
- Advance voting dates in your municipality.
- Accepted ID and any voter information card instructions.
- School-board ballot eligibility where it differs from the mayoral race.
Toronto context
Toronto's mayoral contest is part of the same municipal cycle. Recent Nanos and Liaison surveys show a close race between Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford among decided voters; polls are not predictions. See our elections hub for sourced figures.
