CityVote 2026: Ottawa Municipal Election Results

Unofficial results show several incumbents losing as municipalities post live vote counts for mayor, council and school board races.

  • On Monday, October 26, 2026, residents across Waterloo Region and Guelph voted in municipal elections, electing a wave of new leadership across multiple municipalities.
  • "Local councils across the region will also look very different, as a wave of fresh faces will take charge of the region's municipalities over the next four years," though Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic secured his fourth term.
  • Ward 7 councillor Scott Hamilton defeated incumbent Jan Liggett in Cambridge with over 56 per cent of the vote, while Shannon Weber beat incumbent Dorothy McCabe by 6,379 votes in Waterloo.
  • Leanne Caron won Guelph's mayoral race with 54 per cent of the vote, replacing Cam Guthrie, while Rodney Rollerman and Evan Burgess were elected mayors of North Dumfries and Woolwich.
  • Retired political professor Robert Williams from the University of Waterloo noted voters view municipal elections as a choice between satisfaction and change, asking "Am I satisfied with the performance of the mayor" or seeking a new direction.
