Reminder: Election Day In Toronto Is June 26

POSTED ON June 23, 2023 BY Justine Smith

Election day in Toronto is Monday, June 26 and 1,445 voting locations will be open across the city from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters must cast their ballot at the voting location assigned to them in the ward where they live. 

Voters can visit MyVote (www.toronto.ca/MyVote) to:

  • Search their address to find out where to vote
  • View, download or print a Voter Information Card (if they are on the voters’ list)
  • Find accessibility information about their voting location
  • Review a sample of the ballot
  • Review the candidates running for mayor.

Before voting on election day, voters should visit MyVote (www.toronto.ca/MyVote) to confirm there have been no changes to voting locations. To avoid lineups, voters should consider voting during off-peak hours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Voting locations close at 8 p.m., but if a voter is in line by 8 p.m., they will be able to vote.

Mayoral Candidates Address BIA
To help members make an informed decision, the BIA reached out to mayoral candidates with a summary of challenges facing our neighbourhood. Below are their responses to our question:

Toronto’s economic and cultural prosperity, as well as its standing as a global city, depend heavily on a bustling and lively downtown core. However, the aftermath of the pandemic has resulted in reduced foot traffic, including fewer office workers, visitors, and tourists. The situation is being exacerbated by escalating safety concerns and ongoing challenges related to traffic, transit, and construction. As Canada’s largest city, finding solutions to these issues in Toronto will require the participation of the federal and provincial government, but it is the Mayor of Toronto who should set the tone and direction of those relationships.

As mayor, what specific actions or resources would you put in place to make downtown safe, accessible, and inviting for businesses, workers, local visitors and tourists?
