Welcome 2010!

The 2006 Municipal Election will be held on Monday, November 13, 2006. Voters of the Town of Fort Erie will be able to elect a Mayor, Regional Councillor, Ward Councillors and Separate or Public School Board Trustees in both the English and French language.



Under Bill 81, the term of office for municipal and regional councils and schools boards has been extended from 3 to 4 years, effective December 1, 2006.

Casting a ballot exercises your democratic right to vote. It allows you to choose who you wish to make decisions about the future of your community, the services, programs, facilities and how the monies will be spent to achieve the related goals and objectives over the next four years. The determination of goals and objectives for the next term of Council and the allocation of monies for programs, services and facilities will have a direct impact on your community’s quality of life.

If you are a voter, this website will help you find information about voting, locating your voting place and answer any other questions you may have.

If you are a candidate, you can use this website to find answers to questions, rules and regulations, election forms, how to revise the voters’ list, scrutineer information, ward/ poll map, voting locations and so much more!

The website will be updated regularly to give you the most current information about the municipal election and the list of candidates. If you have any questions, or require further information, please contact me.

The Municipal Election Office is located in the Town Clerk’s Office at:
Town Hall
1 Municipal Centre Drive
Fort Erie, ON L2A 2S6

Traditionally, voter turnout is low in Canada, which is surprising since people in many countries around the world do not have the right to cast an independent ballot, or die trying.

You have every opportunity to vote, so please exercise your right this November.
