Our City, Your vote
Our City, Your Vote is a non-partisan initiative led by the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. In the lead-up to the 2026 Cornwall Municipal Elections, the initiative aims to strengthen civic literacy, increase voter awareness regarding democratic processes and issues, and encourage both traditional and unconventional democratic engagement.
MISSION
To raise awareness about the importance of civic participation and engagement, specifically relating to the 2026 Cornwall Municipal Elections.
VISION
To foster a municipality where all demographics, especially youth, are engaged and actively contributing to civic and democratic processes.
why does it matter?
Civic engagement is critical, yet Cornwall has experienced a steady decline in voter turnout across recent municipal elections:
2014: 14,000 voters
2018: 12,488 voters
2022: 10,166 voters
In 2022, voter turnout represented under 38% of eligible voters.
