To ensure your correct school support designation is provided to Elections Ontario in time for the next municipal and school board elections, it should be reviewed and, if needed, updated by June 1, 2026.
While Elections Ontario maintains the Permanent Register of Electors, MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) is responsible for collecting school support designation information.
Whether you own or rent your home, your property is linked to a school board, even if you don't have children or they are not currently attending school.
You can choose which school board you support. If no selection is made, your support defaults to the English-Public school board.
Property owners can update their designation online using MPAC AboutMyProperty or the tenant portal.
A step-by-step guide is available in English or French.
Please note: Registration may take up to 24 hours to activate.
You can submit a paper Application for Direction of School Support form in English or French and mail or email it to MPAC.
