What is on a Toronto municipal ballot?
Toronto municipal election · October 26, 2026
Voter information reviewed October 26, 2026. Candidate platform sources were reviewed October 25, 2026.
Toronto voters elect a mayor and a councillor for their local ward. If eligible, voters also elect a school-board trustee. This guide explains the roles; it cannot determine an individual’s eligibility or actual ballot.
Mayor: citywide leadership
The mayor serves the city as a whole and participates in City Council decisions. Campaign plans describe proposed priorities, not guaranteed outcomes.
Ward councillor: local representation
A councillor represents one City of Toronto ward on Council. Use official City information for current ward boundaries and election details.
School-board trustee: only if eligible
Trustees serve one of Toronto’s school boards. Toronto has four boards: Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), Conseil scolaire Viamonde and Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir. School-board wards differ from City wards, and not every voter is eligible to vote for every board.
Do not infer a board from a City ward. Only official MyVote can resolve the eligible board and sample ballot for an address.
