Information for voters
Who can vote?
If you are a resident, owner or tenant of property in the City of Peterborough, a Canadian citizen, and at least 18 years of age, you are eligible to vote.
Students living in Peterborough while attending school can vote in the Peterborough municipal election as well as in their home municipality.
If you are experiencing homelessness, or do not have a permanent home or a fixed address, you can still vote.
The City designates voting locations based on the ward you reside in. If you are experiencing homelessness or have no fixed address, your ward is determined by the location you have slept in the most during the 5 weeks leading up to an election.

Election Accessibility
The City considers accessibility in all aspects of the election planning process. Our goal is to ensure that all electors are provided with equal opportunities to cast a ballot.
The City’s Elections Accessibility Plan was developed to ensure compliance with relevant legislation including the Municipal Election Act, 1996; Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005; and the Human Rights Code.
The Election Accessibility Report was prepared following the election to help identify, remove and prevent barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities.
