Residents Can Vote In-person or Online in 2026 
Timmins City Council has officially approved the continued use of online voting for the upcoming municipal election in 2026.

Under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, Ch. 32, municipalities are required to pass a by-law authorizing the use of vote tabulators and alternative voting methods for each municipal election. Timmins has successfully implemented alternative voting methods in each of the past three municipal elections (2014, 2018, and 2022), allowing residents to cast their ballots either in-person at local polling stations or online from any secure internet connection.

During the 2022 municipal election, approximately 72% of total votes were cast through online voting, highlighting the convenience and accessibility of digital voting options. For the 2026 election, online voting will provide a secure, modern, and accessible option that encourages participation.
