MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS MATTER:
VOTE ON OCTOBER 24, 2022

 

On October 24, 2022, people across Ontario will have the privilege of casting their ballots for Mayor, Town and Regional Councillors, School Trustees, and in Halton’s case, the Regional Chair.

​

DID YOU KNOW?

• Halton is one of only 3 regions in Ontario where we directly elect our Regional Chair?
  Voters in Halton, Durham and Waterloo Regions directly elect their Regional Chairs. In other regions, the Chair is appointed by the council.
   

• Property taxes support schools, your local City / Town services, and Regional services.
  City / Town services include fire departments and parks, Regional services include police, water management, public health services and waste management.

​

• Only 33% of Halton voters cast a ballot in the 2018 Municipal Elections.

 

So few vote in our municipal elections. But it’s the level of government that has the greatest impact on the quality of our daily lives. From drinking water to waste management, emergency services to social services – our local and Regional governments provide every day services that keep our communities safe.

​

We want Halton to LEAD THE WAY

The 2022 Ontario Election saw an historically low voter turnout. While our current Premier was returned to power with 40.8% of the popular vote, in reality, that represents only about 18% of eligible voters*.

​

This is a CALL TO ACTION

We want Halton residents to gain a better understanding of their local government. To care about the coming elections. To increase voter turnout, and energize the electorate.

​

A high voter turnout will provide our municipal and regional politicians with a strong mandate to advocate for our communities with all levels of government.
