How to Vote

 

Voting in the 2026 CKC Election & Referendum opens on November 1, 2026, and closes on November 30, 2026. Eligible members will have the opportunity to elect the Board of Directors for the 2027–2029 term and vote on referendum items that will help shape the future of the Canadian Kennel Club.


Who can vote?

To be eligible to vote, you must:

  • Be a CKC member in good standing
  • Have held your membership for at least one year
  • Be at least 19 years of age

Important: Voting eligibility was determined when the official voters list was produced on October 6, 2026. Members must have met all eligibility requirements as of that date. Changes made after the voters list was finalized will not affect eligibility for the 2026 Election & Referendum.


Voting online

Electronic voting through the CKC Member Portal is the primary voting method for the 2026 Election & Referendum.


Step 1: Log in to the Member Portal

Visit the CKC website and select Login, or proceed directly to the Member Portal.

Step 2: Click “Vote”

Beginning November 1, a “Vote” button will appear on your Member Portal homepage. Click the button to access the secure voting platform and your ballot.


Step 3: Cast your vote

Follow the on-screen instructions to:

  • Vote for your zone’s Board candidate, where an election is required
  • Vote on referendum items

Once submitted, your vote will be securely recorded.


Voting by mail

Members whose recorded voting preference is paper as of the October 15 voting preference deadline will receive a paper ballot package by mail. All other eligible members should review their membership information and confirm that the email address listed in their account is accurate and up to date.

Your package will include:

  • Two paper ballots: one for the election and one for the referendum
  • Voting instructions
  • Information on how to vote electronically if you prefer
  • The Referendum Booklet

Completed paper ballots must be returned to BDO using the instructions provided in the ballot package and received no later than November 30, 2026. Members are encouraged to return their ballots early to ensure they arrive before the deadline.
 

Before you vote

We encourage all members to review:

  • Candidate profiles
  • Referendum information
  • Voting instructions

Candidate profiles and election information are available on CKC’s website.

Be sure to watch for the 2026 Referendum Booklet, which will be posted on the CKC website later this week. The booklet will provide additional information about each referendum item before voting begins.
