How do I vote?

You have two ways to vote in 2026: online from anywhere, or in person.

Vote online: Internet voting is open from Tuesday, October 13 at 10 a.m. until Monday, October 26 at 8 p.m. You can vote any time, day or night, from a computer or phone, using the information mailed to registered voters by the City.

Vote in person: On Voting Day, Monday, October 26, Voter Assistance Centres are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. You can vote there on paper, or get help voting online.

What are we voting for?

In Ward 4, we’ll fill two council seats, and they're separate boxes on your ballot:

Regional & City Councillor: sits on both Oshawa City Council and Durham Regional Council. This is the seat I'm running for.

City Councillor: sits on Oshawa City Council only.

You'll also vote for Mayor and School Board Trustee.

Am I registered to vote?

To vote in Oshawa (online or in person) your name needs to be on the City's voters' list, with your current address. That address matters: it's where the City mails your Voter Information Letter, which you'll need to vote online.

You’ll be able to confirm your registration anytime from September 1 to October 23, 2026 through the City's online voters' list tool, or by contacting Service Oshawa at (905) 436-3311.

Even if you miss the deadline, you can still register or update your information in person, with ID, at any Voter Assistance Centre - right up to and including Voting Day, Monday, October 26.

What ID do I need?

If you're voting in person, or updating your registration at a Voter Assistance Centre, bring one document showing your name and address. It does not have to be photo ID. Everyday paperwork works:

  • Ontario driver's licence

  • Ontario Photo Card

  • a utility bill (hydro, water, gas, phone, or cable)

  • a bank or credit card statement

  • a property tax assessment

  • a lease, mortgage, or rental agreement.

Two things worth knowing: a Canadian passport is not accepted, and an Ontario health card only counts if your name and address are printed on it.

If you’re voting online, all you need is your Voter Information Letter.
