Notes on this record

- Mayor Ian Boddy is not on the certified list; sitting Councillor Carol Merton is among six mayoral candidates. Councillors Travis Dodd, Jon Farmer and Marion Koepke are not on the list.
- Names as printed on Form OS43 (surnames converted from upper case); websites and campaign emails from the city candidates page. Jacob Morris-Wheeler withdrew and is not included.
- Phone numbers on the candidates page are not copied; personal-looking mailboxes (including some business/ISP addresses) left null.
