Mayor before election

Don Iveson

Elected mayor

Don Iveson

They were all elected to four year terms in single-member wards. All contests were conducted according to the first past the post (FPTP) system. Although FPTP elects the candidate that receives the most votes, it does not always produce a winner that has received over 50% of the votes. The winner in seven of the 12 city councillor contests was elected with less than a majority of the votes cast.

Since 2013, provincial legislation has required every municipality to hold quadrennial elections.[1] The voter turnout was 31.5% with 194,826 ballots cast out of the 618,564 estimate eligible voters.[2]
