Voters

• A resident of the Township of Uxbridge, or an owner or tenant of land in the Township, or the spouse of such an owner or tenant;
• A Canadian citizen;
• At least 18 years old; and
• Not prohibited from voting by law

If you are not a resident of the Township of Uxbridge, to vote for a School Board Trustee, you must be:

• An owner or tenant of residential property in the area of jurisdiction of the school board, who does not support any other board

Who cannot vote?

The following persons are prohibited from voting in a municipal election:

• 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; or
• Convicted of a corrupt practice described in section 90(3) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996

As a Canadian citizen, voting is your right and responsibility. Your community is shaped by the outcome of an election.

The individual who is elected takes part in making many important decisions, including how tax dollars are spent in your community.

 Is your name on the Voters List?

Ensure your school support designation is up to date before the next election 

To ensure your correct school support designation is provided to Elections Ontario in time for the next municipal and school board elections on October 26, 2026, it should be reviewed and, if needed, updated by June 1, 2026. 

While Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors in Ontario for provincial, municipal, and school board elections, MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) is legislatively responsible for collecting school support designation information.  

What is school support? 

Whether you own or rent your home, your property is linked to a school board – even if you don’t have children or your children aren’t currently attending school. While you’re not required to make a designation, you do have the option to choose which school board you support. If you don’t make a choice, your support will default to the English-Public school board.    

How to update school support designations

Property owners can change their school support designation online using MPAC AboutMyProperty™ or our online portal for tenants. To get started, choose the option that applies to you:  

• I am a property owner 
• I am a tenant 

A step-by-step guide is available in English or French. 

Please note: Registration may take up to 24 hours to activate. 

You can submit a paper Application for Direction of School Support form in English or French and mail or email it to MPAC.
