Renfrew’s 2026 Municipal Election is coming soon. Mark your calendars - Election Day is Monday, October 26, 2026.
Residents will elect a Mayor and six Town Councillors to represent our community. If you’re a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years of age, and you live in Renfrew or own or rent property here, you're eligible to vote and run for office.
Every vote counts - and every resident has a voice in shaping Renfrew’s future.
Over the next year, we’ll share important information for candidates and voters alike, including nomination details, voter registration, and how you can get involved.
