Voting Day for the next Municipal Election is Monday, October 22, 2018.
Voting is a fundamental right of our democracy. When you vote, you are selecting representatives who will make the laws and policies that determine how our City functions and how we live together.
Municipal government is involved in many aspects of our daily lives – maintaining roads and sidewalks, providing clean water, waste collection, clearing the snow, caring for children and the elderly, running public transit, supporting the arts, and protecting our City's residents.
A person is entitled to be a voter at the municipal elections if on Voting Day (Oct. 22, 2018) they are:
A Canadian citizen
At least 18 years of age or older on Voting Day
Reside in the City of Vaughan or an owner or tenant of land or the spouse of such owner or tenant
Not otherwise prohibited from voting
Everything you need to know about voting in the City of Vaughan’s municipal election will be found in this section. Please check the site on a regular basis as information will be updated throughout the coming year.

Advance Voting Begins October 11
Save yourself time on Voting Day, and consider casting your ballot during the City of Vaughan's advance vote period from
October 11 to 18
. Advance vote is being conducted across all five wards and is once again using a "vote anywhere" model which means you can cast your ballot at any one of our voting locations. Accessible voting devices will be available at City Hall throughout the eight-day advance vote period.
New for 2018, the City has partnered with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to conduct two days of advance voting at two subway stations located in Vaughan. Between October 15 and 16, cast your ballot on your way to or from the subway.
