Voter Information

Voting for the 2026 municipal election can be conducted by internet, telephone or by visiting a Voting Assistance Centre and requesting a ballot-on-demand. 

Online voters will be prompted to take a short survey once they have completed their vote. This survey will ask questions on their voter experience and this information will be used to shape future elections. Interested residents who voted by telephone or in person are encouraged to take a brief voter experience survey. The information gathered from the survey will be used to shape future Brock elections. 

All eligible electors will receive a Voter Information Letter in the mail. The Voter Information Letters will be mailed out starting on September 30, 2026.

• Keep the Voter Information letter in a safe place until voting opens
• Follow the instructions in your Voter Information letter. There are specific instructions for voting online and by telephone. Both of which will require the PIN number within your personalized letter. 
• If you require assistance, you may bring your Voter Information letter and acceptable identification to any Voter Assistance Centre during the voting period 

A person is entitled to vote in a municipal election if they are a qualified elector. That means, you must be:

• A resident of the Township of Brock, 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 Brock, 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 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
• Convicted of a corrupt practice described in section 90(3) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996

Elections Ontario’s (EO) voter registration portal closed on August 12, 2026 to provide time for EO to prepare the Preliminary List of Electors for distribution to Ontario municipalities in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act. Revisions to the Voters’ List for the 2026 Municipal Election are no longer available through Elections Ontario. 

Beginning September 1, 2026, you can check whether you are on the Voters’ List and submit an Application to Amend the Voters’ List to update your information, add or remove your name, or request the removal of a deceased elector. The completed application must be submitted to the Clerk's Department, in person, by the elector requesting the change, along with valid identification and proof of eligible electoral address. 

For questions about the Voters' List, please contact clerks@brock.ca or 705-432-2355.

All eligible voters who are on the Voters’ List will receive a Voter Information Letter in early October containing all the information they need to cast their ballot.

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.

Electors can easily vote online, anywhere, from any device!
Alternatively votes can be cast over the phone. 

Should an elector require assistance or wish to request a ballot on demand, Voter Assistance Centres will be available throughout the voting period. 

During the voting period electors may attend any Voting Assistance Centre at the hours identified below for help.

Assistance will be provided if you received a Voter Information Letter and need help voting, if you did not receive a Voter Information Letter or if your Voter Information Letter has errors and needs to be corrected. 

You are not required to attend a Voting Assistance Centre if you intended to cast your ballot online or by telephone.
