HALDIMAND—On April 10, 2025 voters in Wards 1 & 4 will select who they want to represent them on Haldimand County Council for the remainder of the 2022-2026 Term. Eligible voters will be able to cast their ballot online, in advance, and in-person at polling stations. As voting day approaches, County staff are reminding residents of the following:
Voter Information Letters
Voters in Wards 1 and 4 have been mailed Voter Information Letters, which will be arriving in the next one to two weeks. This letter provides a Voter Identification Number (VIN) and confirms your name, address, and eligibility to vote in either Ward 1 or 4.
Any eligible voter in Ward 1 or 4 who does not receive a Voter Information Letter in the mail is encouraged to check, update, or add their information using the online portal at haldimandvotes.ca.
Residents of Ward 1 or 4 who have questions about their mailed Voter Identification Letter are encouraged to email election@haldimandcounty.on.ca or call 905-318-5932.
Advance internet voting
Internet voting will be offered for advance voting only beginning Monday, March 31 at 9 a.m. and concluding on Wednesday, April 9 at 5 p.m.
To vote online, residents will need to have their Voter Identification Number and PIN provided in their Voter Notification Letter. A link to the online voting portal is included in the Voter Notification Letter, and is also available at haldimandvotes.ca.
Voters who do not have home internet access can use one of the Haldimand County computer kiosks located in our libraries and administration building.
