If an eligible Brampton voter is unable to vote in person during advance voting or on Voting Day, they may choose to appoint a voting proxy to vote on their behalf. Any person whose
name is on the Voters' List or who has been added to the Voters’ List may vote by proxy. If you cannot vote in person during advance voting or on Voting Day, you may appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf.
Proxy Voting Guidelines
- The person making the appointment and the person appointed must both be eligible voters in Brampton,
- A person shall not appoint more than one voting proxy, and
- A person appointed as a proxy may only act for one person who is not a relative, but can act as proxy for any number of relatives who are spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren.
How to Appoint a Voting Proxy
- The person who is making the appointment must contact the Election Office at 905.874.2424 or bramptonvotes@brampton.ca, or come in person to the City Clerk's Office at Brampton City Hall, 2 Wellington Street West.
- We will confirm if you are on the Voters' List. If you are not found on the Voters’ List, you must complete an Application to Amend the Voters’ List (E2615) in order to be added to the list. You must bring a piece of identification showing your name and Brampton address.
- If you know who you will be appointing, we will confirm that your appointee is also on the Voters' List. If your appointee is not on the list, we will advise you how that person can be added.
- We will provide you with two copies of the Appointment for Voting Proxy form.
- You must make the decision about who you will be appointing, complete the appropriate sections on both copies of the Appointment for Voting Proxy form, and give both copies to the person who is voting on your behalf.
- The person you appoint is required to attend the City Clerk's Office at City Hall to have the completed Appointment for Voting Proxy forms certified by the City Clerk or their designate. The City Clerk's Office is open for processing Proxy forms between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, and during advance voting (including Saturdays) between noon and 5 p.m.
- With a certified Appointment for Voting Proxy form, the person you appoint may vote on your behalf at any advance voting location, or at any voting location within your ward on Voting Day.
