Toronto voters were casting ballots on Monday, 26 October, in the city’s municipal election, with voting places open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. local time. The City of Toronto’s election-day notice confirmed the hours and said voters would choose a mayor, councillor and, where eligible, a school board trustee.

Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford were making their final appeals for votes as polling continued, according to CP24’s Monday election coverage. Municipal elections were also taking place elsewhere in Ontario to select mayors, councillors and school trustees.

The city said eligible voters could use its MyVote service to find their voting place, download or print a digital voter information card and review a sample ballot. Its voter information page also links to identification requirements and assistance available at voting places.

Toronto Elections noted that school board ward boundaries often differ from city ward boundaries, directing voters to its reference chart for the appropriate school board area.

Polling remained underway during the afternoon. CP24 said its election results coverage would follow the scheduled 8 p.m. close.
