During any of the advance voting days, eligible voters can vote at any voting location across the city.
Advance voting for Toronto’s 2023 mayoral byelection begins Thursday, June 8, and will run until Tuesday, June 13.
During any of the advance voting days, eligible voters can vote at any voting location across the city from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the City of Toronto website.
“This convenient option is unique to advance vote for this byelection because there is only one race and therefore only one ballot at all 50 locations,” the website states.
On election day, Monday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., you must vote at your designated location. You can find your voting location information on MyVote.
According to the city website, to vote in the 2023 byelection for mayor, you must be:

Voters are reminded to bring identification showing their name and qualifying Toronto address and their Voter Information Card (VIC) when they go to vote. Voter Information Cards provide information about when and where to vote and will lead to a quicker voting experience. Voter Information Cards are not required to vote.
