A new website has been established by Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to make it easier for citizens of Ontario to ensure they are able to vote in this fall’s municipal elections.

If you’re a Canadian citizen who is over the age of 18 and are a resident, owner or tenant of property in Ontario, you are eligible to vote in October.

Voterlookup.ca will allow Ontarians to ensure they are already on voting rolls and if they aren’t, they can also use the site to register.
