Register of Voters

There are three types of registers for provincial and/or local* elections in Ontario:

• Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as “the Register”, for eligible individuals voting in provincial, municipal, district social services administration board and school board elections.
• Register of Absentee Voters for eligible provincial electors temporarily living outside Ontario who intend to return to Ontario
• Ontario Register of Future Voters for eligible individuals who are 16 or 17 years of age

Search the Register to confirm, update, add or remove your information and/or property from the Register. You will need to provide ID and/or other required documentation. 

In this section, you will find information about:

• eligibility requirements to register for provincial and local elections
