A municipal voter is someone eligible to vote in municipal elections, with eligibility rules set by provincial legislation. Requirements typically include being a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, and a resident of the municipality. Some provinces extend voting rights to property owners who don't reside in the municipality, while others restrict voting to residents only. Provincial residents who are not Canadian citizens cannot vote in most jurisdictions, unlike some other countries that allow non-citizen local voting. Understanding voter eligibility matters for both potential voters and candidates, as voter lists compiled from provincial data determine who can participate in local democracy.
