2026 Ontario municipal elections thread

It's election day in Ontario, and if you want to talk about it with your fellow PPPers, this is the place.

We have some huge and unusually tight races around the province for mayors to city councilors.

Remember that while photo ID is not required, something with your address on it is required, meaning passports don't count on their own as they don't have your address. Voter information cards are also not acceptable. A driver's licence or OHIP card are the most obvious choices, though you can use a utility bill with your name and address on it as well (both must match the registry exactly). If you did not get a voter information card, you can go to toronto.ca/elections and print one or download it to your phone, again this isn't valid proof of ability to vote, but it helps poll workers speed up the process and will tell you the address of where to vote. I assume most municipalities outside of Toronto have the same thing available.

You can also use this tool to find out more about your candidates and which ones may align with your point-of-view.
