Municipal Election

The next municipal election will be held Monday, October 26, 2026. 

The previous municipal election was held on October 24, 2022. Under the Municipal Elections Act, the four-year term of office for the current council and school board trustees began November 15, 2022, and ends on November 14, 2026.

We encourage you to confirm that you are on the Voters List as soon as possible. Being on the list will make your voting experience easier, and help you avoid a trip to the municipal office to be added closer to the election.

If you are a resident, owner or tenant of property in Ontario, a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old and not legally prohibited from voting, you can vote in Ontario’s municipal and school board elections.

Register to Vote is easy to use. 

  • To confirm your information, you'll need your name, date of birth, and property address.
  • Additional ID is required to update, add or remove voter information.
  • You can also register as an absentee voter or if you are 16 or 17, add your name to the list of future voters.

School Board Support

As a property owner, you are required to support a school system even if you do not have children or your children are not currently attending school. The school board you support dictates for which school board trustees you are eligible to vote.  

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for maintaining information on the school support associated with your property.

Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc Council approved the use of internet/telephone voting for 2026. More information on how to vote will be provided closer to the election.

More information coming soon.

  • Election Day: Monday, October 26, 2026

The Nomination Period begins May 1, 2026. Additional information and forms will be available prior to that date.

If you are interested running for Council and would like to be added to the list to receive election information updates, please contact the Municipal Clerk.

The Association of Ontario Municipalities (AMO) is a great resource for prospective candidates. AMO has a number of resources on how local government works and what it is like to serve on a municipal council. They offer a number of training courses for those interested in running for election, including courses focused on new and returning candidates. You can find the list of webinars on AMO's Events Calendar.

AMO is offering a free online workshop, Heathy Democracy Leadership Series, designed for leaders seeking re-election or first-time aspiring candidates.
