Elections

Third party advertising includes any advertisement in broadcast, print, electronic or other medium that has the purpose of promoting, supporting or opposing:

• a candidate
• a municipal question on the ballot

Third party advertising does not include:

• an advertisement by or under the direction of the candidate
• when no expenses are incurred by the person, corporation or trade union, in relation to the advertisement
• advertising or communication that is given to or transmitted by an individual to employees, by a corporation to its shareholders, directors, members, or employees or by a trade union to its members or employees

Third party advertising does not apply to "issues". This allows advocacy groups to continue their issue-based advocacy and community work during the municipal election.

Third parties who want to advertise in the election will have to register in each municipality where the third party intends to advertise. Registration allows a third party to promote or oppose any candidate or question on the ballot in the local election.

**Candidates may not direct a registered third party advertiser. Candidates may not coordinate, organize or govern how a registered third party advertiser displays and/or produces election advertisements.

Eligibility 

The following persons and entities are eligible to register as a third party advertiser:

• an individual normally a resident in Ontario
• a corporation that carries on business in Ontario
• a trade union that holds bargaining rights for employees in Ontario

The following persons and entities are not eligible to register as a third party advertiser:

• a municipal candidate
• a federal political party registered under the Canada Elections Act (Canada) or any federal constituency association or registered candidate at a federal election endorsed by that party
• a provincial political party, constituency association, registered candidate or leadership contestant registered under the Election Finances Act
• the Crown in right of Canada or Ontario, a municipality or local board

Voters can visit City Hall to add themselves to the Voters' List if they are not currently registered as Cambridge Voters. Voters can also correct their personal information (i.e. name, property address, school support) by visiting City Hall. Voters can only add or update their own information. You cannot add or update information for other voters. 

Even if you had updated your information with Elections Ontario for the Provincial Election that took place in June 2022, you must also update your information with the City of Cambridge.

Please note that no revisions or additions can occur online or over the phone with City representatives. All changes must be made in person at City Hall. Voters must bring valid proof of identification with them in order to make any Voters' List revisions. 

Updating this information will help to ensure that municipal voters’ lists are accurate and up to date in preparation for municipal and school board elections this October.

If your name is not on the voters’ list, complete the Application to Amend the Voters’ List and visit the Municipal Clerk’s Division at 50 Dickson Street, Cambridge, during regular business hours (Monday - Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm). 

Yes, if the person is deceased. You may bring the proof of death to the Municipal Clerk’s office on the 1st Floor of City Hall at 50 Dickson Street, Cambridge. 

No, if the person is living. You cannot remove another living person from the Voters’ List except yourself. If you want to remove someone from the Voters’ List who is identified at your property, you may contact MPAC (1-866-296-6722) to make a request. 

There may be several reasons why you are not showing on the Voters’ List, including:

• You are included on the list with one name, but you are checking with another name (e.g., “Pat” instead of “Patricia”).
• You have moved within the last four years.
• Your name, address, or birthdate are recorded incorrectly on the voters’ list and do not match what you have typed in.
• MPAC may not have been able to confirm your eligibility (i.e., citizenship, etc.) and left you off the list.
