Mayor Mark Sutcliffe secured a second term in Ottawa on 27 October, winning by a solid margin as voter turnout fell to 36. 3 %, according to the Ottawa Citizen. Ontario’s municipal elections were held on 24 October, with more than 11. 8 million eligible voters choosing among 6,663 candidates for mayoral and council seats across cities such as Toronto, Hamilton and Mississauga, CBC reported.
On the same day, Olivia Chow defeated Brad Bradford to win a second term as Toronto’s mayor, a result also noted by CBC. In Hamilton, the mayoral race remained unresolved after polls closed, with vote tallies still pending, CP24 said. Across the province, incumbent councillors retained most seats, leaving women in the majority on Ottawa’s council, the Ottawa Citizen added.
