One Hundred Days until Election Day – Are You on the Voters' List?

Tomorrow marks 100 days until October 24 – Municipal and School Board Election Day. This is an important opportunity for all residents of Greater Sudbury to have their say on the future of their city.

Check the voters’ list

The voters’ list for the Municipal and School Board Election is created and provided to us by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). They collect and confirm voter information to prepare the final list later this summer.

Visit www.voterlookup.ca to check that you are on the list and that your personal information is correct. This is an important step for everyone, but especially for those who are first-time voters, or who have moved or changed their name since the last Municipal and School Board Election in 2018.

The lists for federal, provincial and municipal elections are not all the same, which is why it is important to take the time to make sure your information is up to date on the municipal voters’ list. It only takes a few minutes, and it will save you valuable time when it comes time to vote.

If you don’t have internet access, or have questions about the list, contact MPAC at 1-866-296-6722.
