How do I Vote?

Voting for the Clarington 2026 Municipal Elections will take place electronically by internet and telephone. Clarington voters can cast their votes at their convenience, from 10 a.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, until 8 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Voter information letters

If your name is on the voters’ list, you will receive a voter information letter by mail in early October 2026. The letter will provide detailed instructions on how to vote during the Voting Period (October 20 to 26) and will list the available Election Assistance Centres.

The Municipality of Clarington uses a secure online and telephone voting system. To access the voting system, you must enter:

  • Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) from your Voter Information Letter, and
  • Your full date of birth, as recorded on the voters’ list.

Both are required to verify your identity and allow you to complete and submit your ballot.

If you do not receive a voter information letter, you may not be on the voters’ list. Contact the Municipal Clerk’s Division to add your name to the list. If you find errors on the voters’ list or your voter information letter, correct them online or contact the Clerk’s Division to find out how you can make corrections.

Applications for all revisions, except removal of another person’s name, may be completed at the Municipal Administrative Centre, Clerk’s Division, from September 1 to October 26, 2026, during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on October 26) or at an Election Assistance Centre in Clarington.

If you need assistance to vote, visit any Election Assistance Centre (EAC), Clarington Public Library branch or call 905-697-4747.
