2026 Ontario municipal elections

Rare card · No. 29416

Municipal elections in Ontario were held on October 26, 2026. Voters in the Canadian province of Ontario elected mayors, councillors, school board trustees and all other elected officials in all of the province's municipalities. This was the first set of municipal elections to not overlap with a provincial election in the same year since 2010. In 2026, the provincial government passed the Better Regional Governance Act, which caused a number of changes to municipal councils in the province. Among them included reducing the size of the Niagara Regional Council from 32 to 13 seats, the size of Simcoe County Council from 32 to 17 members, and gave the provincial government the right to appoint chairs of Durham, Halton, Muskoka, Peel, Waterloo, and York Regions, as well as the Warden of Simcoe County. The reaction to the provincial government’s changes has been mixed.
