The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for collecting the information of residents in Ontario (name, date of birth, citizenship and school support) in order to create a preliminary list of electors for Municipal and School Board Elections. Municipalities will use the preliminary list of electors to prepare their voters list for the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections.
