If a medical condition or mobility limitation stops you from getting to a voting place, you can ask the Town for a home visit so you can vote at home. Register by October 18, 2026, and contact the Town as early as you can to book the visit.
The Town holds voting inside long-term care homes and retirement homes and sends the details to each home’s administration. Residents and their families can ask the home’s staff when voting will take place there.
If you can’t go inside a voting location, an election official can bring your ballot to your vehicle, to a spot outside the building, or to another area of the location. A friend or support person can go inside and tell the election officials, or you can call the elections office and staff will contact the voting place for you.
Post-secondary students who live away from home while at school may be able to vote both where they live for school and in the place they consider their permanent home, as long as they meet the voter eligibility rules in each. Accepted ID includes a campus residence document from your school, a mortgage statement, lease or rental agreement for an Ontario property, or an insurance policy or statement showing your name and address. Students who will be away on voting day can also appoint a proxy.
If you can’t vote yourself, you can appoint someone who is eligible to vote in Oakville to cast your ballot for you. Students at college or university outside Oakville can also appoint a proxy. Your proxy can still cast their own ballot. A person can be a proxy for only one voter, unless the voters they act for are all members of their own family.
