Are You on the Voters' List?

Are you a new Brantford resident? Has your name or address changed since 2018? Are you unsure if you are listed as an elector in Brantford for the Municipal Election?

Voters' List revisions and additions can be made at City Hall (58 Dalhousie Street) from Monday to Friday during regular business hours.

Voters can visit City Hall to add themselves or correct their personal information (i.e. name, property address, school support) by visiting City Hall. Voters can only add or update their own information. You cannot add or update information for other voters.

Even if you had updated your information with Elections Ontario for the Provincial Election that took place on June 2022, you must also update your information with the City of Brantford.

Please note that no revisions or additions can occur online or over the phone with City representatives. All changes must be made in person at City Hall. Voters must bring valid proof of identification with them in order to make any Voters' List revisions.
