Register of Absentee Voters

Register of Absentee Voters is only for eligible provincial electors temporarily living outside of Ontario who intend to return to Ontario. As an absentee voter, you are eligible to vote in an Ontario provincial election for up to two years from the date you leave Ontario. Being on the Register of Absentee Voters does not necessarily make you eligible to vote in local elections as a non-resident.

Search the Register of Absentee Voters to confirm, update or add your voter information. You will need to provide ID and/or other required documentation. Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form. 

If you are currently on the Register of Absentee Voters and have since returned to Ontario, you can transfer your voter information to the Register.

In this section, you will find information about:

• eligibility to register as an absentee voter
• ID and documentation requirements 
• exemption from the two-year limit
