Internet voting and Paper ballot voting

All times are Pickering local time (Eastern Daylight Time).

Internet voting requires both the PIN from your Voter Information Package (VIP) and your full date of birth as recorded on the voters’ list.

Paper-ballot voting is available only on Election Day, October 26, 2026, at an applicable voting assistance centre or voting location.

For paper-ballot voting, bring identification showing your name and qualifying Pickering address.

Voting assistance centres have location-specific dates and hours. Check the current official City Voting Methods and Voters’ List information before visiting. Earlier assistance hours do not mean paper-ballot voting is available before Election Day.

Voter Assistance Centres and voting locations

Election officials at these centres can help with internet voting and voting credentials, with iPads available. Before October 26, these hours are for voting assistance and internet voting only. On October 26, all five locations offer both internet voting and paper ballots from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
