The City reminds citizens that the survey is for the 2026 Municipal Election voting methods – it is not associated with upcoming provincial and federal elections.

A summary of the information collected through the survey will be included in a report to City Council to inform its consideration of voting methods and technologies to use in the upcoming 2026 Municipal and School Board Elections on Oct. 26.

For the 2022 Municipal Election, the City of Peterborough offered in-person voting and online voting. When casting their ballots in the 2022 Municipal Election, 69.2 per cent of voters in the City of Peterborough used online voting.
