Who can vote? Likely you can! 
Canadian citizens and their spouses can vote in every municipality in Ontario where they own or rent property, so you and your spouse can both vote at your home and also at your cottage. 

Why vote?
Councils make decisions that touch your lives in many important ways and can have lasting implications. Help protect Muskoka and the environment for all generations.   

What's at stake?
It's more important than ever to stand up for Muskoka. The MLA has worked tirelessly to preserve and enhance Muskoka for all generations and your vote is critical. We have seen organized efforts by groups who don't adhere to our priorities to safeguard our water quality and protect our natural shorelines and who oppose our call for responsible development, including official plan updates, such as the Township of Muskoka Lakes Official Plan and redevelopments, such as the proposed Muskoka Regional Centre/Cliff Bay project on Muskoka Bay, south Lake Muskoka.  

Register on the Voters’ List  NOW – You must be registered to vote.

Vote October 14-26, 2026 
Registered voters receive (at your permanent address) voting instructions and PIN numbers in September. Voting will only be by telephone or online. Call your municipal clerk for more details.

MLA Candidate Endorsements:
As part of our commitment to represent our members, the MLA endorses candidates who are most closely aligned with our issues. The endorsements are determined by MLA volunteers who interview all nominees about their stand on issues including preserving water quality, promoting natural shorelines, voting for responsible development and protecting the beauty of Muskoka for all generations. The results are published in September and distributed via email and flyers.
