BRANTFORD, ON – Exercising your right to vote has never been easier. The City of Brantford is offering the convenience and accessibility of online voting now through to the closing of polls on Election Day, October 24 at 8:00 p.m. by visiting brantford.ca/election.

The City is committed to ensuring inclusive, barrier-free voting options. Online voting allows eligible voters to cast their vote using their own familiar assisted devices if needed, ensuring privacy and convenience during the online voting process.

As a reminder, you may only vote once in the City of Brantford regardless of how many properties you own or rent within Brantford. You can vote for two Ward Councillor candidates and one Mayor in the ward where you live.

ADVANCE VOTING

For those wanting to vote at a polling station, in-person advance voting will run for four continuous days from October 12 to October 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre (254 North Park Street) and the Brantford and District Civic Centre (69 Market Street South).

ELECTION DAY VOTING

Following its success in 2018, Brantford will once again be implementing a "Vote Anywhere in Your Ward Model" on Election Day, Monday, October 24, 2022. This model will allow a voter to vote at any polling station within their ward. Voting locations will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Voters are reminded to bring their Voter Notification Letters and identification showing their name and qualifying Brantford address. Voter Notification Letters have been mailed to every eligible elector on the Voters’ List. The letter provides information about when and where to vote. Anyone who has not yet received a Voter Notification Letter can visit brantford.ca/election for a list of voting locations in their ward.
