Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Aylmer is a lower-tier town in Elgin County with an at-large council; the /local region is the whole town.
- Candidates from the Town's 'Official List of Certified Candidates' page (getinvolved.aylmer.ca), which also links the signed PDF. Phone numbers are not copied; candidate emails are kept only where they read as campaign addresses.
- The Town site has no member directory with emails; sitting council (Mayor Jack Couckuyt, Deputy Mayor Pete Barbour, Councillors Arthur Oslach, Jamie Chapman, Jason Rauhe, Kathryn Desrosiers, William Barber) is taken from the 'Aylmer Council' membership listings on the Town Council page (retrieved 2026-10-09). No member email recorded.
- Mayor Jack Couckuyt is running for Councillor; Deputy Mayor Pete Barbour and Councillor Kathryn Desrosiers are running for Mayor. Councillors Arthur Oslach and William Barber are not on the list.
- No council office is acclaimed: 3 candidates for Mayor, 15 for 6 Councillor seats.
