Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Candidates from the City Clerk's certified list (VoterView, https://ovs.voterview.ca/candidatelist/2105, embedded at https://mississaugavotes.ca/2026-municipal-election/for-voters/whos-running/ — 'All candidates on this list have been certified by the City Clerk'), retrieved 2026-10-09: 14 for Mayor, 75 for Ward Councillor across 11 wards.
- The VoterView markup carries a hidden 'Acclaimed' label on every candidate; it is a template artefact and was ignored. Acclamation is taken only where a race has a single certified candidate.
- Phone numbers and the mailing addresses some candidates published are not copied; candidate emails are kept only where the address names the campaign or matches the campaign website's domain, otherwise null.
- Sitting council from the city's council page; official emails (first.last@mississauga.ca, mayor@mississauga.ca) as shown on each member's page. Carolyn Parrish was elected Mayor in the June 10, 2024 by-election.
- Two sitting councillors are running for Mayor rather than re-election: Alvin Tedjo (Ward 2) and Dipika Damerla (Ward 7); their wards are open seats.
- Withdrawn before certification (city page): George Tavares (Mayor; now a Ward 7 candidate), Rahul Mehta (Mayor; now Ward 8), Olivia Gannon (Mayor; now Ward 1), Zulfiqar Ali (Mayor; now Ward 4), Syed Jaffrey (Ward 9) — plus trustee withdrawals.
