Voters cast ballots in Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area municipal elections
Voters in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area are heading to the polls on Monday to elect mayors, councillors, and school board trustees. The elections follow weeks of campaigning, marked by intense competition, particularly in Toronto’s mayoral race between incumbent Olivia Chow and challenger Brad Bradford.
Both candidates have been actively engaging undecided voters during the final stretch of the campaign. Chow accused Bradford of neglecting his constituents in his ward, while Bradford has asserted that Chow has not adequately addressed the city’s traffic and transit issues. “This has been a difficult campaign,” said Chow, highlighting her key promises to lower grocery prices, provide free school lunches, and increase affordable housing.
In Mississauga, former mayor Bonnie Crombie is seeking to reclaim her position after stepping down to lead the Ontario Liberal Party. Crombie previously held the mayoralty for nearly a decade and is up against incumbent Carolyn Parrish, who has been in charge since June 2024 and is vying for her first full term.
Notable figures on the ballots include Patrick Brown, who is aiming for a third term as mayor of Brampton, and Andrea Horwath, who seeks a second term as mayor of Hamilton. Steven Del Duca is also running for re-election as Vaughan’s mayor.
Voting is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. as per guidelines from the Ontario government, but voters are advised to verify specific times and locations through their local municipalities. WTX News will provide live coverage of the election results from various headquarters across the region.
