Where can I vote in person?

You can vote at any Voting Place in Markham. You do not have an assigned polling station. View list of Voting Places.

 

Do I need to bring ID with me if I vote in person?

If you're voting in person at a Voting Place, remember to bring IDs to show election workers who you are. Find out what IDs you need to bring.

 

Can I vote by proxy?

Given the availability of online voting during the 250-hour voting period, proxy voting will not be available during the 2022 Markham Municipal Election.

 

Can I vote more than once if I own multiple properties in Markham?

No. You can only vote once in a municipal election and you must vote in the ward where you live.

 

Can I vote in more than one municipality if I own multiple properties in different municipalities?

Yes. You can vote in any municipality where you are the owner, tenant or spouse of an owner or tenant of land in that municipality – but only once per municipality.

 

Can I take a selfie with my ballot?

We love that you're excited about voting! So are we. However, taking a picture of a completed ballot (yours or anyone else’s) is a violation of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, because it violates the secrecy of the vote. It is also a violation of the Act to publish a photo on your social media channels or elsewhere of a completed ballot.
