October 26 is election day. What actually decides your vote?
Every council in the region is up on October 26, 2026. Nominations closed August 21. Toronto has three serious names for mayor, and most of the 905 has a housing number to answer for.

Why we’re asking
Municipal elections get the lowest turnout of any vote in the country and decide more of your daily life than the other two combined: the road outside, the bus on it, the zoning across the street, the property tax bill that pays for the rest.
Every one of the region’s twenty-nine councils is on the ballot on Monday, October 26. Nominations closed on August 21. In Toronto the incumbent mayor is challenged by a sitting councillor and a former federal cabinet minister; in Mississauga, Vaughan and elsewhere the campaigns are about delivery: homes started, roads fixed, the things a strong-mayor council was supposed to speed up. It is also the last election before the province starts appointing regional chairs, and the first since the speed cameras came down.
This site does not run horse-race questions and will not endorse anyone. But it is worth knowing what the region thinks the election is about, because the candidates are guessing.
