All eligible voters who are on the Voters’ List will receive a Voter Information Letter in early October containing all the information they need to cast their ballot.
School Board Support Designation
School support designation helps property owners and tenants identify which school board they wish to support in a school board election and appropriately allocate school support funding to the board of choice. As per legislation, your school support defaults to the English Public school board. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) manages school support designations. The deadline to review and update your school support designation through MPAC for the 2026 Municipal Election was. June 1, 2026.
You can still update your school support designation with the Town from September 1, 2026, until Voting Day, October 26, 2026, by submitting the prescribed Application to Amend Voters’ List form. Please note that changing your school support for the Municipal Election will not affect that change with MPAC. In order to change your school support for your property, you must make this change directly with MPAC.
