Mr. Gray went on to say, “I may also add some further advance poll dates to ensure fairness and accessibility for all Citizens. Every candidate and every Local has had a chance to comment on the polling locations, and these represent what we believe is the fairest approach to allowing Citizens the opportunity to cast a vote. We are trying to accommodate the needs of 60,000 voters who are eligible to cast ballots.” He went on to say, “In addition, we expect every Citizen will be able to go to a link on our webpage to find their Local and shortly, the location of the polling station assigned to their Local.”
The link for the “Find Your Local App” is cro.mmf.mb.ca/voter-info.

Some voters were eligible to vote by special mail-in ballot, but the deadline to apply has now passed.
According to the MMF Constitution, the MMF must hold an election for President and other MMF Vice-President and Regional Executive positions within four years and three months of the prior election. There are seven Regions, each with a Vice-President and two Regional Executive Officers. The last election was held on June 14, 2022.
The Cabinet also includes the Spokeswoman for the Infinity Women Secretariat Inc. (IWS), currently Anita Campbell. The IWS held an election for the Spokeswoman position in a separate process earlier in September 2025.
The qualifications for office include being a Citizen at least 18 years old, a resident or willing to be a resident in the Region for which one is seeking office and having held elective office at a local level. There are more than one hundred active Locals within the MMF governance structure. Twenty Citizens eligible to vote in their election must nominate a candidate.
