Fairview Votes

Municipal elections are held every four years at which time residents elect one Mayor and six Councillors to a four-year term. In Fairview, Council members are elected at-large, which means the Mayor and Councillors represent the entire population rather than a geographical ward. Voters choose up to six candidates for Council, and one candidate for Mayor.

The last election was held on October 18, 2021 to determine the 2021 - 2025 Fairview Town Council.

Voter registration is required in 2025. You can register to vote at any time but there are several benefits to registering ahead of an election, such as making the voting process faster and easier, because you won’t have to register at the voting place.
