Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Brantford's /local region is the whole city; the mayor race and all five two-member wards are included.
- Certified list from brantford.ca (Candidates page: 'officially certified as of Monday, August 24th, 2026'; retrieved 2026-10-09). The list prints surnames in capitals; names here are in normal case. No council seat was acclaimed.
- Mayor Kevin Davis is not on the certified list — an open mayoral race. Four sitting councillors run for Mayor: Rose Sicoli (Ward 1), Dan McCreary (Ward 3), Richard Carpenter (Ward 4) and Mandy Samwell (Ward 5). Ward 2 Councillor John Sless and Ward 3 Councillor Greg Martin are not on the list.
- Sitting council from brantford.ca's City Council page (names from the page's councillor photo captions plus official @brantford.ca emails; Ward 1's 'Councillor Sullivan' is Michael Sullivan per his official address MichaelSullivan@brantford.ca) and the Office of the Mayor page (2026-10-09). No mayor email is printed.
- The list prints phone numbers — not copied. It gives no websites. Candidate emails kept only where on a campaign/own domain or plainly a campaign mailbox; apparently personal addresses left null.
- Search results surfaced brant.ca (County of Brant — a different municipality); not used. School trustee candidates are not captured.
