The Voters’ List and How to Update Your Information
Elections Ontario is responsible for maintaining the Permanent Register of Electors for Ontario, which is used to provide municipalities with elector information for municipal elections. The Township of Scugog uses this information to prepare and maintain the Voters' List for the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election.
Voters can use the Township's Voter Lookup Tool (available September 1, 2026) to check whether they are on the Voters' List and confirm that their information is correct.
If you are not on the Voters' List, or your information needs to be corrected, you can have your information added or updated by attending the Township of Scugog Municipal Office at 181 Perry Street, Port Perry during regular office hours. You will be required to complete an EL15 - Application to Amend the Voters' List (available September 1, 2026) and provide acceptable identification.
During the voting period, voters can also have their information added or updated to the Voters' List at any Township Voting Assistance Centre.
School Support Designation
The designation determines which school board trustee candidates appear on a voter’s ballot. In Scugog, voters can vote for trustees for the English Public, English Separate (Catholic), French Public, French Separate (Catholic).
If no designation is selected, school support defaults to the English public system. The designation does not affect property taxes but is used to determine school board representation during municipal elections. It applies to both property owners and tenants, regardless of whether they have children enrolled in school.
Students
Students may be eligible to vote in more than one municipality if their permanent home and temporary student residence are in different municipalities. For example, a student who considers Scugog their permanent home but lives in another municipality while attending school may be eligible to vote in both municipalities, provided they meet the eligibility requirements in each.
