Brock Township voters will decide contested races for mayor, regional councillor and all five ward council seats in the 2026 municipal election, with voting available from October 17 through October 26.
The township issued its formal notice of vote on September 9, confirming the offices on the ballot and the ways eligible residents can take part. Two English-language Durham District School Board trustee positions, shared with Uxbridge and Scugog, are also contested.
How and when Brock residents can vote
The Brock election voting period opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 17 and closes at 8 p.m. on Monday, October 26. Electors will be able to cast a ballot online or by telephone.
Residents who want in-person help can use a Voting Assistance Centre. The township says ballot-on-demand voting will be available at the centre, providing another option for people who cannot or do not wish to vote remotely. Voting by proxy will not be permitted in this election.
Voter information letters containing the personal identification number needed to vote are expected to be mailed by September 30. Eligible residents should watch for that letter and confirm their voter-list information before the voting period begins.
Three trustee candidates acclaimed
Not every school-board position will appear as a contested race. Brock’s notice lists three candidates as acclaimed: Richard Damianopoulos for the Durham Catholic District School Board area shared by Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge; Erik Lapointe for Conseil scolaire Viamonde; and Marcellin Kwilu Mondo for Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir.
An acclaimed candidate is elected without a vote because no other certified candidate is running for that office. Their names therefore do not require a choice on the municipal ballot.
What voters should do next
Residents who do not receive a voter information letter by the end of September, or who find incorrect information on it, should contact Brock Township’s election staff. The municipality’s election page will provide assistance-centre details, candidate information and instructions for the online and telephone systems.
The notice establishes the official local voting window and confirms that every Brock council position will be decided by voters. Because the five ward races are separate, residents will vote only for the councillor contest in the ward where they are eligible, along with the township-wide and applicable school-board races.
