If getting to a voting location is difficult, the City runs a vote-from-home service and accepts a proxy — someone you trust voting on your behalf. The deadlines and how to arrange each one are here.

What to bring

Something showing your name and a Guelph address. It does not have to be photo ID. Any of these work:

  • Ontario driver's licence or Ontario Photo Card
  • A utility bill — hydro, water, gas, telephone or cable TV
  • A bank or credit card statement, or a pay stub
  • A cheque stub, income tax assessment, or a letter from a government office

One thing to watch: the voter notification card the City mails out is not accepted on its own. Bring it if you like, but bring one of the above as well.

Who is on your ballot

Guelph elects a mayor city-wide and two councillors in every ward, so in Ward 5 you pick two names, not one. You also vote for a school board trustee — those candidates are on the City's official list.

Ward 5 councillor — pick up to two of 10
