Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Kingston is the whole city: the mayor race and all twelve districts are included.
- Acclaimed (Clerk declaration 2026-08-24): Don Amos, District 5 – Portsmouth, and Vincent Cinanni, District 9 – Williamsville — both sitting councillors, so the seats are filled without a vote.
- Conny Glenn, sitting councillor for District 10 – Sydenham, is running for Mayor against incumbent Bryan Paterson; Sydenham is an open seat.
- Gary Oosterhof (District 1 – Countryside) is not on the certified list.
- Names follow the certified list; websites and emails come from the city candidate-information page (https://www.cityofkingston.ca/council-and-city-administration/elections/candidates/candidate-list/), which also shows Stephen Cuthbertson as withdrawn from Mayor (he is certified for District 4) and Jago Garrett as withdrawn from District 10 — neither withdrawn entry is included.
- Phone numbers on the candidate page are not copied; emails kept only where campaign-named, personal-looking mailboxes left null.
- Sitting-member official emails not captured.
