• Vote at Home Program

  The Vote at Home Program dates for the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election will be available on this page once they are confirmed. Please continue to monitor for important updates in the coming weeks. 

  What is the Vote at Home Program?

  The Vote at Home Program is for homebound electors who are unable to physically attend a voting place. A Homebound Elector means an elector whose ability to move or function is restricted to the extent that they cannot attend a polling station without significant difficulty or support assistance. For example, they may be bedridden due to illness or injury. Details for the Vote at Home Program 2026 registration period will be shared in the coming weeks.
