Voters in Toronto, across Ontario, head to the polls for municipal elections
Voters are choosing mayors, councillors and trustees as tight races in Toronto, Mississauga and Hamilton could reshape local leadership.
- On Monday, October 26, 2026, voters across more than 400 Ontario municipalities headed to the polls to elect mayors, councillors, and school trustees in a significant provincial election.
- Recent provincial policy changes shifted authority, with the government granting itself power to appoint regional chairs in Waterloo and Niagara, while eight school boards remain under provincial supervision.
- Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow secured re-election with about 54 per cent of the vote, while steel industry advocate Keanin Loomis defeated Hamilton incumbent Andrea Horwath with 41.8 per cent to her 14.5 per cent.
- Ottawa recorded its lowest voter turnout in 23 years with just over 36 per cent of eligible voters, while Mississauga rookie city councillor Alvin Tedjo defeated incumbent mayor Carolyn Parrish.
- New mayors assume sole oversight of budgets accounting for about half of property tax bills, as this election marks the biggest shakeup in 56 years at regional council following provincial elimination of regional-only seats.
