The months-long campaign to become Toronto’s next mayor is coming to an end. The clock is ticking for the city’s leading candidates, John Tory, Olivia Chow and Doug Ford (open Doug Ford's policard), to make their last pitches to voters — and time is running out for voters to decide whom they want to lead the city for the next four years.

To help Torontonians choose a mayor, city councillors and school trustees, The Star has prepared an all-you-need-to-know kit to help you cast your ballot on election day.

When is election day, again?

Monday, Oct. 27, 2014. Polls are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Where do I vote?

Use the MyVote tool at www.toronto.ca (app.toronto.ca/vote/myVote.do )to find a polling location in your ward, or follow the information on your voter information card. Here is a complete list of Election Day polling locations.

Am I eligible to vote?

To be eligible to vote in the municipal election, you must be a Canadian citizen at least 18 years of age. Voters must also be either a resident of Toronto, rent or own property in the city, or have a spouse who rents or owns property in the city. You must not be prohibited to vote under any law.

Students living in the city of Toronto while attending school are eligible to vote in the 2014 election.

What do I need to bring with me when I vote?

Bring your voter information card and a piece of identification with your name and qualifying Toronto address, like an Ontario driver’s licence, Health Card or pay stub. Here is a complete list of accepted ID documents.

The voter information card, sent by mail, will not be accepted as a piece of identification.

What if I don’t have a voter information card?

Bring an approved piece of ID to the polling station listed on the MyVote tool. If your name doesn’t appear on MyVote, you can request to be added to the voter’s list, but must bring proof of a qualifying Toronto address.

How do I mark the ballot?

To mark the ballot, voters must use the pen provided to connect the head and tail of the arrow next to the preferred candidate, be it for mayor, ward councillor or school trustee.

TIP: If you make a mistake on your ballot, take it to an election official, who will cancel your ballot and give you another shot.

How do I know who is running in my ward?

The MyVote tool, for those on the registered voter’s list, shows users a ward map, lists the candidates running for each municipal position in the ward, tells voters where to vote and gives a sample of the ballot online.
