  • Why Your Vote Matters

    Many people say, “I don’t want to get political.” But here’s the thing—your vote matters. By voting, you have a say in who represents you locally and provincially. This representation affects everything from healthcare and education to transportation and environmental policies. Essentially, voting is an opportunity to actively participate in shaping the future of your communities and province.

  • How Ontario’s Election Works

    We don’t vote directly for the premier. Instead, we elect a Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP), who then votes for their party’s leader. So, if you support a particular party leader, you should vote for the local candidate from that party.
