The Ranson Voting Plan tool was built to answer one question quickly: who is on my ballot and what do I need before election day? If you want a fast way to prepare for the June 2, 2026 municipal election, this guide walks you through every step.
Step 1: Enter your voter details correctly
On the Voter Plan page, enter your first name, street address, zip code, and email. These fields power ward lookup, candidate mapping, and delivery of your plan copy. If you want ride support, include your phone number and check transportation assistance.
The best results come from entering your full street address exactly as it appears on official records. That improves geocoding accuracy and reduces manual ward selection errors.
Step 2: Confirm your ward and candidate list
Ranson uses ward-based representation with citywide races. Your personalized output includes citywide offices and ward-specific council choices based on your location. This prevents guesswork and helps you avoid election day confusion.
If automatic ward lookup has low confidence, manual ward selection remains available. The goal is speed without sacrificing clarity.
Step 3: Download, print, and save your plan
After generating the plan, download your PDF and keep a copy on your phone. A print copy is useful for households planning together and for quick review before entering your polling place.
Your plan sheet highlights election date, ballot sections, and checklist items so your prep is practical, not theoretical.
Step 4: Add election reminders to your calendar
The voter-plan flow supports one-click calendar support to keep election day visible. You can add reminders directly to Google Calendar or download an ICS reminder file. Reminder windows include one month, one week, and two days before election day.
This is one of the highest-impact improvements for turnout because even motivated voters miss deadlines when election planning stays only in memory.
Step 5: Add transportation support if needed
If transportation is a barrier, mark the ride request option in the plan flow or submit directly at Ride to Polls. This helps campaign volunteers coordinate pickups by area and contact preference.
Transportation support does not change your ballot eligibility. It simply helps you get to the polling location on time.
