How to vote

Voters can also add or update their information in person at Brampton City Hall or at any voting location within their ward on Voting Day. All voters must bring acceptable identification showing their name and Brampton address.

• Touchscreen voting
• Headphones with an audio ballot
• Rocker paddle
• High-contrast viewing
• Keypad with Braille
  
• Sip-N-Puff device

Election results

Election results will begin to be posted at brampton.ca/bramptonvotes after voting ends at 8 p.m. on October 26. Unofficial results will be posted progressively as they become available.
