The register(s)
Elections Ontario is responsible for maintaining three types of registers for provincial and/or municipal, district social services administration board and school board elections in provincial and/or local elections in Ontario:
- Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, commonly known as “the Register”, for eligible individuals voting in provincial, municipal, district social services administration board and school board elections.
- Register of Absentee Voters for eligible provincial electors temporarily living outside Ontario who intend to return to Ontario
- Ontario Register of Future Voters for eligible individuals who are 16 or 17 years of age
Search the Register to confirm, update, add or remove your voter information and/or property and/or to remove the information of a deceased person from the register(s).
With the exception of a name change request, you must provide one piece of ID showing both your name and home address to update, add or remove your information from the register(s).
To remove the information of a deceased person from the register(s), you will need to provide documentation showing proof of death.
Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form.
At Elections Ontario, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information in ways that:
- respect the privacy of individuals whose information is collected, used and disclosed by Elections Ontario; and
- integrate privacy best practices into business practices, and the design of programs, services, systems and processes at Elections Ontario.

The Chief Electoral Officer of Ontario may, on the written request of a voter and subject to approval, redact from any record made available to political entities, data partners and to the public, any information that the Chief Electoral Officer reasonably believes would, if made available, endanger the life, health or security of the elector.
