Who is my candidate and what electoral district do I live in?
The Voter Information Service provided by Elections Ontario gives useful information about your electoral district, including the list of candidates, locations of advance and election day polling places, the address of your local Elections Ontario office and a map of your electoral district. You input your postal code and the system generates the information relevant to you.
There are four official parties: The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, the Ontario New Democratic Party, the Ontario Liberal Party, and the Green Party of Ontario.
All parties have released their election platforms, and you can tune in on any major news outlet to hear what the party leaders have to say about the issues that impact you.
How can I make an impact?
To tackle food insecurity, we need government to enact strong policies to tackle the systemic root causes of food insecurity through decent work, affordable housing and a strong social safety net.
