Elected Mayor

Stephen Mandel

Since 1968, provincial legislation had required every municipality to hold triennial elections.

On July 22, 2009, City Council voted to change the electoral system of six wards to a system of 12 wards; each represented by a single councillor, the changes took effect for the 2010 election. Of the estimated 596,406 eligible voters, only 199,359 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 33.4%. A municipal census conducted in 2009 showed a population of 782,439, meaning approximately 76.2% of the population was eligible to vote.

The mayor was elected in the city at-large through First-past-the-post voting.

The councillors were elected in single-member wards through First-past-the-post voting.

They were all elected to three year terms in single-member wards. All contests were conducted according to the first past the post (FPTP) system. Although FPTP elects the candidate that receives the most votes, it does not always produce a winner that has received over 50% of the votes. The winner in seven of the 12 city councillor contests was elected with less than a majority of the votes cast.
