Why it Matters
Municipal elections are about helping shape the future of your community. The people you vote for work together to make decisions on local issues and share your voice at the Council table.
By voting, you're choosing representatives who will listen to your concerns, set priorities for the Town, and make sure Cobourg continues to be a safe, welcoming, and growing place to live.
Your vote is one of the most direct ways to take part in local democracy and to help build a Cobourg for everyone.
Any individual looking to run for Municipal Office or for a School Board Trustee must be considered an eligible candidate and complete the prescribed nomination procedures.
The 2026 Municipal Election Candidate Packages will be available for pick-up at the time of the Candidate Nomination.
