Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- The /local region "Stouffville-Whitchurch" is the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville (whole municipality).
- Certified list from the Clerk's Form EL07-WS signed 2026-08-24 (PDF, retrieved 2026-10-09). The Town's HTML candidate page renders client-side, so candidate websites/emails were not captured.
- Mayor Iain Lovatt is the only certified mayoral candidate and is acclaimed. No council ward was acclaimed. One school-trustee acclamation (Viamonde) is not captured.
- Maurice Smith (Ward 2) is not on the certified list. Hugo T. Kroon appears on the certified list as "Hugo Kroon".
- A news summary gave an October 21 date; the brief and Ontario's statutory election day are 2026-10-26 — Oct. 21 may be an advance/internet voting date, not verified.
