Frequently Asked Questions

The municipality cannot host all candidates debates to maintain political neutrality during the Municipal Election.

The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 does not require candidate debates to be held, and the municipal clerk is not responsible for organizing meetings or debates. Debates can be organized by community groups, media outlets, candidates or any other interested persons. 

In the event of a public debate hosted by a community service group, a facility on municipal property may be offered as the venue at the discretion of the Facilities Booking Clerk, provided that:

  1. All registered candidates (within the specified office of election for the debate) are invited to attend.
  2. Distribution of campaign literature (such as flyers, brochures, or business cards) at the event is kept at a modest, controlled manner.
  3. Large posters, banners, election signs, buttons, giveaways, and campaign clothing and merchandise sales are not permitted.
  4. Campaign literature shall be permitted only for candidates within the office for which the debate is being held (e.g., a Mayoral candidate may not distribute literature at a Ward 3 debate).

The above limitations apply only where a debate is held at a facility on municipal property; debates held at other venues will be subject to any rules and requirements which may be established by the host.

Candidates provide consent to the Election Office as to what personal contact information that they prefer placed on the municipal website. Each candidate will have their own preference as to what information they would like displayed. Candidates may alter their contact information to be displayed on the website at any time during the campaign period.

Should an individual wish to see the filed nomination paperwork of a candidate, please contact the Election Office to schedule a visit to review the paperwork in person by calling 705-324-9411 ext. 1322.
