Mississauga’s 2026 municipal election will choose the mayor, city and regional councillors, and school board trustees. Election day is Monday, October 26, 2026.
School board races can receive less attention than other contests, but trustees help govern the public education system that serves local students and families. Taking a few minutes to confirm your voter information now can make voting much easier.
Important dates

The City of Mississauga maintains the current list of voting options, locations and election updates on its official election website. Always check the City’s information before you vote because locations and instructions may be updated.
Who can vote?
Ontario’s rules require a voter to be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old and otherwise qualified to vote in the municipality. To vote for a particular school board trustee, you must also qualify as a supporter of that school board.
The province’s 2026 voters’ guide explains school-board voting eligibility. If your school support is not recorded correctly, the guide explains that you may need to contact MPAC before voting day.
Check the voters’ list
Do not assume your information is correct because you voted in a previous election. Confirm your name, address and school support ahead of time. The City’s election website links to the current voter registration tools and explains what identification may be required.
Know what will be on your ballot
Municipal ballots include several offices. Take time to review the candidates for each one, including school board trustee. For the Peel District School Board race in Mississauga Wards 1 and 7, Jad El Ghali is asking for your support.
Jad is running to make sure parents and students are heard, important decisions are explained clearly and local concerns reach the board table.
