Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Burlington is the whole city: the mayor race and all six wards are included.
- Two sitting ward councillors — Lisa Kearns (Ward 2) and Rory Nisan (Ward 3) — are running for Mayor against incumbent Marianne Meed Ward; their wards are open.
- Shawna Stolte (Ward 4) is not on the certified list; Ward 4 has two candidates.
- Gary Carr, the outgoing Halton Regional Chair, is a candidate in Ward 2. The Halton Regional Chair became a provincially appointed post under the Better Regional Governance Act, 2026 (halton.ca), so no chair race is on the ballot.
- Candidate phone numbers on the city list are not copied; emails kept only where the address is campaign-named, personal-looking mailboxes left null.
- No acclamations for Mayor or council (several school trustee seats were acclaimed; trustees not captured). Sitting-member official emails not captured.
