Voting for Students

Did you know that students attending post-secondary institutions in Ontario can vote in the city where they study, as well as the city where they permanently reside?

  • To vote in Greater Sudbury, you must show proof of temporary residence in the city. If your permanent home is in Greater Sudbury but you are studying elsewhere, you can still vote here using your Voter Information Letter. Once you have registered and are on the Voters’ List.

You will receive a Voter Information Letter in Fall 2026. This package will contain:

  • Information and instructions on how to cast your electronic ballot during the voting period
  • A list of voting dates and locations
  • Identification requirements

If I haven’t registered before Election Day and I’m not on the Voters’ List, can I still vote?

  • You can still vote in the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election if you have not registered or are not on the Voters’ List prior to Election Day.
