2026 Municipal Election
Candidates in their own words
ottown sent every certified candidate the same six questions, free, and publishes what comes back as written. Ottawa votes on Monday, October 26, 2026. The answers are the candidate's own: they have not been fact-checked, and publishing them is not an endorsement. The list is in ballot order, mayor first and then wards alphabetically, with candidates alphabetical within each race.
