The short answer
Eligible Hamilton voters can cast a ballot this Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The City of Hamilton has scheduled 59 community polls in high-density buildings and locations chosen for accessibility. Bring valid identification. A voter information card is helpful, not required. You may vote at any polling station in your ward. There are no online or mail-in ballots. Kingdom Civics does not endorse candidates or republish unofficial location lists.
What is on the ballot
This is a municipal and school board election, not a federal campaign. Voters elect the mayor, one councillor for their ward, and school board trustees. The boards on Hamilton’s ballot are the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire Viamonde, and Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir. Eligibility for each trustee ballot is set by the City. Confirm it on hamilton.ca before you mark a name.
How to find a poll without a rumour
Your voter information card lists the polling stations in your ward. The City has said you may use any of them, not only one assigned building. If the card has not arrived, use the official Find my Ward tool, then open the City’s voters page for locations. Do not rely on a forwarded map. Eight ballot-on-demand sites, including McMaster, Mohawk, and Redeemer, plus some social-service locations, use their own hours. Those hours are not the same as the 10 a.m.–6 p.m. community-poll window.
Sunday is still a voting day
Polls are open Sunday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A congregation can worship first and vote afterward. Pray for the people administering the election, for neighbours who need extra time or an accessible entrance, and for whoever wins. Voting is stewardship, not salvation. Advance polls follow on October 3–4, 10–11, and 17–18, also 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Election day is Monday, October 26.
