In addition to accurately assessing and classifying all properties in Ontario based on current market value, MPAC is also legislatively responsible for conducting enumeration and preparing a Preliminary List of Electors for municipal and school board elections in Ontario.
MPAC relies on various sources of information, including Municipal Enumeration Forms that are sent to approximately 2.4 million Ontario households during an election year, to help compile the Preliminary List of Electors. This preliminary list is provided to municipalities and school boards to help them create the final voters' lists for election day.
If you receive a Municipal Enumeration Form from MPAC, please complete, sign and return your form by June 1, 2010 to make sure your name is included on the 2010 Preliminary List of Electors.
2010 Municipal & School Board Elections will be held on October 25, 2010
