Voter Information for Mayoral By-Election

Friends,

Starting this week, eligible voters can confirm they are on the voters’ list and add or update their information for Toronto’s 2023 by-election for mayor, taking place Monday, June 26. To appear on the final voters’ list, all revisions must be submitted to Toronto Elections by Friday, May 26.

Residents can check if they are on the voters’ list by visiting Toronto Elections MyVote or calling 311.

Voter information cards will be mailed to eligible voters on the voters’ list starting Tuesday, May 23. The cards provide information about when and where to vote either during the advance vote from June 8 to 13 or on Election Day, June 26.

If an eligible voter on the voters’ list does not receive their voter information card in the mail, they can visit MyVote (www.toronto.ca/myvote) and print or upload a digital copy of their voter information card to their mobile device to show at their voting location. Eligible voters do not need a voter information card to vote and it cannot be used as identification. More information about voter information cards is available on the Toronto Elections webpage .

All voters are required to show identification with their name and qualifying Toronto address. A complete list of acceptable identification is available on the Toronto Elections Identification webpage .

How to apply to vote by mail

Eligible voters can choose an alternative to in-person voting for Toronto’s 2023 by-election for mayor and can apply to vote by mail until May 26 at 4:30 p.m.

The mail-in voting option is a convenient way to vote, allowing applicants to vote from the comfort of their homes. Interested voters must apply to vote online by visiting the Toronto Elections Vote by Mail webpage  or by calling Toronto Elections at 416-338-1111 and pressing 5.

More information about mail-in voting and how to apply is available on the Toronto Elections Vote by Mail webpage .

Completed mail-in voting packages must be received by Thursday, June 15, at noon. Completed packages can be returned through Canada Post to arrive by the deadline or hand delivered to a secure mail-in voting drop box. One yellow drop box will be available in each of Toronto’s wards between June 1 and June 15. Drop box locations will be listed on the Vote by Mail webpage  in late May.

Jobs available for the 2023 by-election

Applicants can now register and book an interview for temporary paid positions to work during the 2023 by-election for mayor. Voting place election officials will help Toronto residents vote in person during six advance voting days from Thursday, June 8 to Tuesday, June 13 and on election day, Monday, June 26.

Available positions include ballot officers, tabulator officers, customer service officers and standby officers. Successful applicants will enhance their skills in customer service, problem solving and teamwork.

Anyone who is at least 18 years of age and legally eligible to work in Canada can apply. Role responsibilities, requirements, pay and time commitments, including training and working hours, are available on the Toronto Elections employment webpage .

More information about Toronto’s 2023 by-election for mayor is available on the Toronto Elections webpage .

Sincerely,

Gord

Request for Proposals has been issued for 150 Dunn Supportive Housing

This RFP is to select a non-profit housing provider to sub-lease and operate affordable rental housing with support services at 150 Dunn Ave.

This project is being delivered in partnership with all orders of government, the University Health Network (UHN), the Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine and the United Way of Greater Toronto. The Social Medicine Initiative incorporates housing as a critical social determinant of health for individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly those from equity-deserving groups who are over-represented in Toronto’s homeless population with complex, chronic or acute health needs and who are recurring patients at UHN clinics and/or emergency departments.
