Internet and Telephone Voting

Seguin Township will once again be implementing Internet and Telephone Voting for the 2026 Municipal Election in October, 2026. This system replaces the traditional polling place method and eliminates the need for advance polls and voting proxies. It also improves voter access and increases voter participation. In Seguin the Mayor is elected at large, which means all eligible voters choose from the same mayoral candidates when voting. Councillors are elected to represent one of six wards, one Councillor per Ward.
