Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Barrie's /local region is the whole city; the mayor race and all ten wards are included.
- Certified list from barrie.ca (2026 Election Certified Candidates List page, retrieved 2026-10-09; a PDF version is linked from it). No council seat was acclaimed.
- Ward 4 Councillor Amy Courser is a certified candidate in Ward 3 (runningSeat Ward 3), leaving Ward 4 open. Ward 1 Councillor Clare Riepma and Ward 3 Councillor Ann-Marie Kungl are not on the certified list. Robert Thomson (Ward 5) is also Deputy Mayor.
- Withdrawn nominations are excluded: Samina Alim withdrew from Ward 7 and is certified in Ward 8; Hafiz Rahman withdrew from Ward 10 and is certified in Ward 1.
- The certified list prints some candidates' home addresses and phone numbers — neither copied. Candidate emails kept only where on a campaign domain or plainly a campaign mailbox; apparently personal addresses left null.
- Sitting council and official @barrie.ca emails from the City Council page (2026-10-09). School trustee candidates are not captured.
