Toronto Municipal Election
Advance voters' turnout sees 6.75 pct decrease from last time in 2022 Toronto municipal election
Toronto/IBNS: The advance vote period for Toronto’s municipal election lasted for eight consecutive days from Oct 7 to 14 during which 115,911 voters visited one of 50 advance voting places across the city to vote, a 6.75 per cent decrease from 2018, a news release has reported.
Compared to 2018, the 2022 advance vote included three more days to allow more time to vote and to provide post-secondary students home from school the opportunity to vote in person.
On election day, which is scheduled on Oct 24, 1,460 voting locations will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m during which voters would be encouraged to use the MyVote web application to find their ward and map, see the candidates running in their ward and where to vote.
Although a Voter Information Card is not required to vote, it will make the voting experience more efficient.
A list of acceptable identification is available on the Toronto Elections webpage.
