 Your Vote. Your Choice. Your Convenience.

Participating municipalities encourage residents to prepare for the 2026 Municipal Election.

Town of Tillsonburg, Township of Blandford-Blenheim, Township of Zorra, Township of South-West Oxford, Township of East Zorra-Tavistock.

The participating municipalities are reminding residents to get ready for the 2026 Municipal Election, which will take place from October 13 to October 26, 2026, using secure internet and telephone voting.

Eligible electors will be able to vote from anywhere using their own computer, tablet, smartphone, or telephone. The voting system will be available 24 hours a day throughout the voting period, providing residents with a convenient and accessible way to cast their ballot. Whether you're at home, at work, or travelling, you'll be able to securely cast your ballot during the voting period. Voting closes at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Watch for Your Voter Information Letter

Eligible electors will receive a Voter Information Letter (VIL) in the mail before voting begins.

The VIL will include:

• Your name and address

• Your unique voting PIN

• Instructions on how to vote online or by telephone

Your PIN is required to access the voting system and cast your ballot. If you do not receive your VIL, lose your PIN, or require assistance, you can contact your municipality's Voter Help Centre.

Check Your Voter Information Now

All residents are encouraged to confirm that they are on the Voters' List and that their information is correct before election day.

Do not assume you are already registered. If you are not on the Voters' List, you may still be eligible to vote. Election staff can help add eligible electors to the list or update voter information when required.

The Province of Ontario's 2026 Municipal Voters' Guide is also available online and provides information about voter eligibility, municipal elections, and the voting process.

Secure and Confidential Voting

The participating municipalities have partnered with Intelivote Systems Inc., a Canadian company specializing in municipal election technology, to deliver secure internet and telephone voting services.

The voting system:

• Allows eligible electors to vote online or by telephone

• Uses security safeguards and encryption to protect voter information

• Prevents multiple votes from being cast by the same elector

• Is tested and monitored throughout the election period

Most importantly, voter privacy is protected. Votes are anonymous, cannot be connected to an individual elector, and municipalities never see how a person voted.

Need Assistance?

Voter Help Centres will be available throughout the election period to assist eligible electors who need help updating voter information, obtaining a replacement PIN, or accessing voting services.
