How to vote in Oakville's October 26 municipal election: advance polls, Election Day, proxy and curbside options

What you are voting for

The Town of Oakville says voters will elect a Mayor, Town Councillors, Town and Regional Councillors, and school board representatives on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Advance voting

Advance voting runs at multiple locations across the Town until Saturday, October 18. The Town's October 13 release does not list specific addresses or hours on the page itself, directing voters instead to the Town's elections site for locations.

Election Day

On Election Day, Monday, October 26, voters can cast a ballot at any polling station within their ward. The Town says voters must bring acceptable identification showing their name and address. A voter card is helpful but not required: eligible voters who do not have one can still vote.

Voters who are unsure which ward they live in can use the Town's "Where Do I Vote" tool to find their ward and assigned voting locations.

Alternative ways to vote

Who can vote

• You must be a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years old.
• You must be a resident of Oakville, or an owner or tenant of land in Oakville, or the spouse of an owner or tenant.
• You must not be prohibited from voting by law.
• The Town notes that permanent residents who are not Canadian citizens are not eligible to vote in the municipal election.

Results

Unofficial results will be posted at elections.oakville.ca after all voting locations close on October 26. Results will also be displayed live in the South Atrium at Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road, and the public is welcome to attend. Official results will be posted after the Town Clerk certifies them.

The new Term of Council begins on November 16, 2026.
