Voting in person on Election Day is available from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 for those want to vote at the polls and who have not already voted early in person or by mail. As a reminder, voters cannot take their mail-in ballot to their polling location on Election Day. Mail-in ballots can only be returned to the Election Commission Office or an official ballot drop box.

Some polling sites were relocated for the upcoming Municipal Election on November 2, 2021. Your polling site location will be in the same ward and precinct or near your regular polling site for voter convenience and to minimize voter confusion. Voters received an Early Voting Guide and a Voter Notification Card in the mail with information pertaining to where you vote, any relocated polling sites and other important election related information. Please refer to the voter information which was mailed to you. A list of wards/precincts and polling sites is available here, so you know where to go if you choose to vote on Election Day. The highlighted locations were relocated for the 2021 Municipal Election.

Voters are encouraged to wear a mask or face covering in the early voting locations and on Election Day at polling sites to help mitigate public health risks associated with COVID-19.
