Depending on where you live and the services you receive, municipalities oversee and can have a daily impact on:

• water and sewerage services;
• emergency measures planning;
• fire services;
• parks, culture, and recreation;
• land use;
• building development permits;

Voting in municipal elections is important and a key part of our democracy. Your vote:

• helps to determine who represents your views for the future of the municipality
• is your voice on issues that are important to you
• impacts local services and programs provided by the municipality
• shows that you care about what happens in your municipality and local community
• can help to create positive change in your municipality

Voters play an important role in deciding how municipalities on Prince Edward Island are governed, and by whom. Municipal elections happen in the fall every 4 years, and bi-elections happen as needed. The next municipal election for the Island is in 2026.
