School Support Designations

Your school support designation matters. Review it by June 1st to ensure it is up to date before the 2026 Municipal Elections.

Did you know your school support designation determines which trustee election you can participate in for in the next municipal and school board elections? 

In Ontario, property owners and tenants can choose which school board they support. This designation also helps determine how you’re listed on the Preliminary List of Electors, placing you on the correct voters list for the municipal and school board elections. 

MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) is legislatively responsible for collecting school support designation data. This information is provided to Elections Ontario to help build and maintain the Preliminary List of Electors. 

School support designations should be reviewed and, if needed, updated by June 1, 2026, to be accurately included on the Preliminary List of Electors for the election on October 26, 2026.
