Text reads the world needs your voice, next to a square with a large check mark in it. The EmpowerNL logo is in the lower left corner.

Municipal elections will take place across Newfoundland and Labrador on October 2. While we cannot share details for every town in this post, we encourage you to take part in your community’s election.

Your vote is your chance to share what matters to you and to help shape the future of your town or city. Everyone’s voice is important, including people with disabilities.

For details about where, when, and how to vote in your area, please check your town’s website, Facebook page, or community bulletin boards.

be a Canadian citizen,
be at least 18 years of age on or before election day, and
have been ordinarily a resident for the 30 days immediately preceding election day either in the municipality or in an area that on election day is part of the municipality.

What ID You Need:
