Voting Day: October 26

Polls are open 10 a.m.–8 p.m. Vote at your assigned location, shown on your notification card or in the City voter lookup. The choice of any open location applies only to advance voting.

Ward boundaries have changed for 2026. Check your ward using the City’s interactive ward map.

Check your registration

The City’s Voters’ List tool lets you add your name, correct your information, and look up your ward and voting location. Online registration needs identification with your name, date of birth, and London address.

Not on the list? Eligible voters can register when they arrive to vote. Checking ahead can save time.

What to bring

Bring identification showing your name and address; two documents may be needed. Examples include an Ontario driver’s licence, Ontario Photo Card, bank statement, utility bill, or lease. Use originals or certified/notarized copies.

Bring your voter notification card if received. You can still vote without it.

Who can vote?

• Canadian citizens aged 18 or older on Voting Day.
• London residents, owners or tenants of London property, or spouses of those owners or tenants.
• People not legally prohibited from voting.

Eligible students living in London for school may vote here and in their home municipality if home is where they return outside school.

Accessible voting

Ask an election worker for assistance. You may bring a friend or relative to help mark your ballot; they must swear to follow your instructions.

• Magnifiers, braille and large-print candidate lists, and pictorial instructions are available at all polls.
• All advance polls have accessible ballot-marking devices, including sip-and-puff, paddles, and tactile controls.
• City Hall advance voting offers on-site American Sign Language interpretation.
• You may request help from staff or curbside voting, and bring your assistive device, service animal, or support person.

For accommodations, alternate formats, other voting options, or a transfer if your assigned poll does not meet your accessibility needs, contact the Elections Office before Voting Day.
