Cobourg, ON – April 22, 2026 – Thinking about running for municipal office or getting involved in the upcoming 2026 municipal election? Area municipalities are inviting residents to learn more about participating in the upcoming 2026 municipal election.
Individuals considering running as a candidate – or registering as a third-party advertiser – in any Northumberland municipality are encouraged to attend a free training session offered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH).
This informative session will provide a clear overview of the rules, responsibilities, and requirements associated with participating in a municipal election, helping attendees feel confident and prepared.
The formal presentation will run for approximately one hour and will be followed by a 30-minute question-and-answer period.
