Municipal Election 2026 – Non-Resident Property Owners and Tenants

You do not have to live in the Township of Conmee to vote in the municipal election.

You are eligible to vote in the Township of Conmee municipal election if, on voting day, you:

  • Are a Canadian citizen;
  • Are at least 18 years of age;
  • Own or rent property in the Township of Conmee, or are the spouse of an owner or tenant of property in the Township of Conmee; and
  • Are not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 or otherwise by law.

A person may be eligible to vote in more than one municipality if they own or rent property in multiple municipalities.

Unable to Vote in Person?

If you are an eligible elector but cannot vote in person, you may appoint another eligible elector to vote on your behalf using a Voting Proxy (Form 3). The person appointed as your proxy must also be eligible to vote in the Township of Conmee.

How the Voting Proxy Process Works

  1. Complete two copies of the Appointment for Voting Proxy (Form 3).
  2. Fill in your information and the information of the person you wish to appoint as your proxy.
  3. Sign and date both copies of the form.
  4. Give both completed copies to the person you have appointed.
  5. The person appointed must bring the forms to the Township Clerk (or designate) to have the appointment certified.
  6. The appointed person must sign the required declaration in the presence of the Clerk or designate.
  7. Once certified, the proxy may vote on your behalf. 

Please note that a person may act as a proxy for more than one family member (parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, sibling, or spouse), but may only act as proxy for one person who is not a family member.
