Resident elector (you live in Clarington)
As a resident elector, you (or your spouse) may own, rent, live in shared accommodation where you do not pay rent, or live in the municipality but do not have a fixed address. Being a resident elector is the most common type of eligibility.
Non-resident elector
Non-resident electors may own or rent property in Clarington but do not live here. You can only be a resident elector in one municipality. However, you can be a non-resident elector in any other municipality (or municipalities) where you own or rent property.
Spouse of a non-resident elector
If your spouse owns or rents property in Clarington, you can vote as a spouse of a non-resident elector.
Neither you nor your spouse qualifies as a non-resident elector if you do not personally own or rent the property in Clarington. For example, if the property is owned by your business or your cottage is owned by a trust, you do not qualify as a non-resident elector.
A qualified person can only vote once, regardless of how many properties you own or rent in the Municipality of Clarington. If you live in Clarington and own or rent more than one property within Clarington, you must vote for the ward where you live.
What determines a "residence"?
A person's residence is their permanent, primary home.
