BRAMPTON, ON – This weekend marks 100 days until Brampton voters make the important decision to vote in the Municipal Election on October 22.

“We are making it easier for people to vote by extending the advance voting period, and providing voters a choice of locations within their ward to cast their ballot on October 22,” said Peter Fay, City Clerk and Returning Officer for the 2018 Municipal Election. “Municipal and regional services such as roads, parks, recreation and transit are part of residents’ everyday lives. Voting in the Municipal Election is an important way to shape your city.”

Voting is easy – here are some useful reminders for voters:
Determine if you’re an eligible voter
A Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, who lives in Brampton (or is the owner or tenant of land in Brampton or the spouse of such owner or tenant).
