The 2022 municipal elections in Ontario were held on October 24, 2022.[1]
Voters in the province of Ontario elected mayors, councillors, school board trustees and all other elected officials in all of the province's municipalities.
In total, 32 of Ontario's 444 municipalities will not hold elections, as their entire councils were elected by acclamation. In total, 139 municipalities had their mayors or reeves acclaimed. Elections were not held in Armour, Armstrong, Brethour, Chamberlain, Chapleau, Charlton and Dack, Dawn-Euphemia, Dorion, Drummond/North Elmsley, East Garafraxa, Enniskillen, Evanturel, Front of Yonge, Gordon/Barrie Island, Hilton, Hilton Beach, Hornepayne, Howick, Kerns, Lake of the Woods, Laurentian Hills, Minto, Oil Springs, Perry, Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls, South River, Tay, The Archipelago, Thessalon or Thornloe.[2]
Electoral System
In 2016, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed Bill 181, the Municipal Elections Modernization Act,[3] which permitted municipalities to adopt ranked ballots for municipal elections.[4]
London was the only municipality to use ranked ballots in the 2018 election itself, with the decision in that city being made by London City Council in 2017,[5] while Cambridge and Kingston held referendums concurrently with their 2018 elections on whether to adopt ranked ballots for the next municipal elections in 2022, with both referendums passing.[6][7][8]
However, in 2020 the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed the Supporting Ontario's Recovery and Municipal Elections Act, 2020,[9] which removed the option for ranked choice voting in municipal elections. Therefore, London will switch back to First-past-the-post voting for the 2022 election, the cities of Cambridge and Kingston will not be able to switch to ranked ballots.[10]
