Frequently Asked Questions

Who am I voting for?

Residents of the Municipality of Lakeshore, who are eligible electors, will be voting for the offices of:

  • Mayor
  • Deputy Mayor
  • One Councillor
  • One School Board Trustee.

The certified list of candidates will be confirmed August 22, 2022. A list of candidates will be made available at the start of the nomination period.

The Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected at large by all electors.

Councillors are elected by the eligible voters of each ward one Councillor for each of Lakeshore’s six Wards.

School Board Trustees are elected by areas, which include one or more Municipal wards for the English School Boards. The board you are entitled to vote for is determined by your school support status, as shown on the Voters List. The school boards that have jurisdiction in the Municipality of Lakeshore are:

  • Greater Windsor Essex District School Board

You may only vote once in the Municipality of Lakeshore Election regardless of how many properties you own or rent within the city. Non-resident voters who own or rent non-residential property are only permitted to vote for Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Ward Councillor.

If a non-resident voter owns or rents residential property, in addition to the offices of Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillor, they can also vote for School Board Trustee (if they have not already voted for school board trustee for the specific school board). Electors may only vote once for their school board trustee, even if they own more than one property in more than one municipality that is within the jurisdiction of the school board.

I voted in previous municipal elections and I live in Municipality of Lakeshore. Should I still check to see if my  name is on the 2022 Municipal Election Voters List?

Yes.

It is recommended that you check to ensure you're on the Voters List for each Municipal Election. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for preparing the preliminary list of electors used for municipal and school board elections in Ontario. We provided all of the information from the completed application forms in the 2018 Municipal Election to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation for inclusion in the Voters List. However, from time to time, the Voters List may include errors which require correction.
