How to Ensure you are on the Voter's List
Before August 12, 2026
Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as the Voters List. This list includes individuals who are eligible to vote in provincial and municipal elections across Ontario.
Voters are encouraged to check and update their information on Elections Ontario’s Voter Registration page to ensure they are on the voters list and receive the correct voting information. This is especially important if you have moved, changed your name, recently bought or rented a property, no longer own or rent a property, or wish to remove your information from the Register.
Visit RegisterToVoteON.ca to review or update your information online or call 1-866-242-3025 for assistance until August 12, 2026.
After August 12, 2026
Norwich Clerk’s staff are happy to assist with all requested changes. Check back in August for the amendment form.
School Support Designation
Property owners in Ontario are required to support a school system, regardless of whether they have children or if their children are presently enrolled in school. Tenants registered with MPAC can also specify the school board they wish to support. Both Property owners and tenants can manage their school support preferences through MPAC’s online portal dedicated to school support designations. They can also submit their designation using the Application for Direction School Support (ADSS) form available on mpac.ca. Property owners and tenants are encouraged to visit MPAC’s school support designation page to learn more.
Who Can Vote?
You can vote in the Township of Norwich municipal election if you are:
- a Canadian citizen; and
- at least 18 years old; and
- a resident in the Township of Norwich; or
- a non-resident of Norwich, but you or your spouse own or rent property in the Township; and
- not prohibited from voting under any law
You may only vote once regardless of how many properties you own or rent within the City.
Who cannot vote?
You are prohibited from voting on voting day if you are:
- serving a sentence of imprisonment in a penal or correctional institution
- a corporation
- acting as executor or trustee or in another representative capacity, except as a voting proxy
- convicted of a corrupt practice described in section 90(3) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996
This means that if you own or rent property in the Township of Norwich under a business name (a corporation), you are not eligible to vote in the Norwich municipal election. The property must be owned or rented under your name or your spouse's name.
