The 2014 municipal elections in Ontario were held on October 27, 2014.
Voters in the province of Ontario elected mayors, councillors, school board trustees and all other elected officials in all of the province's municipalities.
Electoral period
Submissions for candidate nominations were first accepted on 1 January 2014, at which time the campaign period began. The last day for acceptance of nominations or candidacy withdrawal was 12 September 2014.[2]
From 1978 until 2006 the second Monday of November was the fixed date. Notwithstanding advance polling arrangements, municipal elections will be held on the fourth Monday of October, that is 27 October 2014.[2]
The elected representatives will begin their council terms on 1 December 2014. Officials will serve a four-year term excepting death or resignation. All candidates must terminate their campaigning activity by 31 December 2014; this includes, for example, collecting electoral signs. They must file campaign financial details by 27 March 2015.[2]
