2026 Municipal and School Board Elections

The next Municipal and School Board Election will take place in October 2026. 

The Municipal Elections Act (MEA) is the legal framework that governs municipal elections in Ontario. The MEA outlines the procedures for the elections, such as nomination and voting processes, voter rights and regulates fundraising functions and third party advertisements. 

In 2026, Mulmur residents and property owners will be given the opportunity to cast their votes through internet and telephone voting during the designated advanced voting dates or on election day October 26, 2026.

Eligible voters (residents and property owners) will elect several different positions, including:

  • Mayor

Once elected, members of council serve a four-year term and will commence in November 2026.
