• 18 years of age or older;
• a Canadian citizen; and

• either a resident of the municipality or a property owner or tenant or the spouse or same sex partner of an owner or tenant in the municipality during a specified time just before the election.

The voters' list is prepared in three steps:

1. A preliminary list is created by the Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation (MPAC) based on data it keeps on home ownership and tenancy.

2. The preliminary list is sent to the municipal clerk after a by-election has been called or in advance of a regular election which occurs every 4 years. The clerk can correct any errors on the list, and the corrected list then becomes the voters' list.

3. Changes can be made to the list. If you are not on the voters' list, or if your information is incorrect (for example, you have moved and may be listed at a former address), you may apply to have your name added or your information corrected. This may be done until the close of voting on voting day in a regular election or by-election. You may have your name added to the voters' list at the voting place. You may be asked to show identification to establish that you are eligible to vote. More information about getting on the voters' list will be provided at a later date.

• A candidate must be a resident of the municipality or a non-resident owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such non-resident owner or tenant;
• a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years old; and
• not legally prohibited from voting; and not disqualified by any legislation from holding municipal office.
