List of Candadits can be found here when available.

Date: Monday, October 20, 2025

Time: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Locations: Will be posted closer to election day.

Voting Time For Employees

According to section 58(1) of the Local Authorities Election Act, any employee who is eligible to vote has the right to three consecutive hours for voting while their voting station is open.

If the hours of an employee's employment do not allow for three consecutive hours, the employer shall allow the employee any additional time for voting in order to provide for the three consecutive hours. The additional time for voting is granted at the convenience of the employer.

No deduction in pay or any penalty will be imposed on an employee in order to provide the three consecutive hours to vote.

Example: if your normal workday begins at 2 p.m. you would not be eligible for paid time off since you had four hours prior to the start of your workday to vote; similarly, if your normal workday ends at 5 p.m., with voting stations closing at 8 p.m., you would have three uninterrupted hours in which to vote so you would not be eligible for paid time off.
