How to Vote
Proxy voting
Proxy voting and delegated voting are procedures for the delegation to another member of a voting body of that member's power to vote in his absence. Proxy appointments can be used to form a voting bloc that can exercise greater influence in deliberations or negotiations. A person so designated is called a "proxy" and the person designating him is called a "principal."In Canada, the provinces of Nova Scotia, Ontario, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut allow citizens to vote by proxy if they expect to be absent. Canadian prisoners of war in enemy camps were allowed to vote through proxy voting.
Proxy voting will occur between September 13, 2010 - October 25, 2010
Proxy forms must be submitted, in person, to the Office of the City Clerk, which is located on the 2nd Floor, Civic Centre, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga , ON L5B 3C1
