Are you on the Voters List?

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for collecting the information of residents in Ontario (name, date of birth, citizenship, and school support) to create a Preliminary List of Electors for municipal and school board elections. All municipalities will use this list to prepare their voters lists for the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections.

Voterlookup.ca is one of the ways MPAC collects Ontario residents’ information to inform the preliminary list of electors. This helps ensure that each municipality has the most accurate information possible for the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections.

It features a declaration component which requires the user to verify that the information is ‘true and accurate’. In addition, specific information entered by each user has to match-up to existing data maintained by MPAC before users are permitted to add their name or apply changes to their information.
