By-law 2026-099: Municipal Elections By-law 2026-099
By-law 2026-099 was passed by City Council on July 13, 2026. This by-law updates the rules for running a municipal election in Wrenford so they match the latest provincial laws. It puts the changes in place ahead of the next city election.
The main changes include setting up a permanent electors registry so residents can register once and stay on the list for future votes. The by-law also updates the rules for special ballots, making the process clearer and more secure. Finally, it requires that all votes be hand-counted at the end of the election to make sure every count is accurate and transparent.
These rules apply to everyone taking part in the 2027 municipal election. That includes candidates, political representatives, election officials, and voters. If someone breaks these rules, they could face fines or other penalties under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996.
The by-law takes effect immediately after it is passed by Council. It amends the city's existing election rules to keep everything up to date with provincial standards.
