The City Hall Accessible Advance Poll is located in the City Boardroom, offering a quiet, accessible, well-lit location for people to cast a ballot. It also featured an audio and tactile voting tabulator equipped with special equipment to allow any elector to independently cast a ballot.

Public health measures were in place at all in-person voting locations to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Elections Accessibility Plan

The Election Accessibility Report was prepared following the election to help identify, remove and prevent barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities.

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. 

Information for People Experiencing Homelessness

Can I vote if I have no fixed address, or no home at all?

If you are experiencing homelessness, or do not have a permanent home or a fixed address, you can still vote.

The City of Peterborough’s Municipal and School Board Election has designated 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 the election.

Can I vote if I also don’t have identification?

Yes, please visit a voting location in your designated ward on any advance vote or election day and an election staff member will be happy to assist you.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the following measures were in place at all in-person voting locations:

• Staff were strongly encouraged to wear masks while working and masks were available at each voting location for staff, voters and other attendees.
• Physical distancing was supported where possible to allow individuals to be at least two metres or six feet away from each other.
• Voting locations were laid out to allow for separate entrances and exits where possible, wide pathways, plastic partitions at customer service locations, and spacing between voting locations.
• Pathways were marked where needed to manage the flow of voters throughout the voting locations.
• Regular cleaning of high-contact surfaces.
• Hand sanitizer was provided at voting locations.

• Check the Peterborough Public Health local community risk index and follow their risk guidance.
