Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Woodstock elects its whole council at large; no wards.
- The sitting council page lists Deb Tait and Bernia Martin under City County Councillors; both are now running against each other (and Jarrod Erb) for the new Deputy Mayor-County Councillor seat.
- Mark Schadenberg (sitting City Councillor) is running for City-County Councillor. Liz Wismer-Van Meer is not on the certified list.
- The council page labels its second group of four also as "City County Councillors"; they are recorded here as City Councillors, matching the four City Councillor seats.
- Jarrod Erb's listed email is a business (sign-company) address and is not copied. Phone numbers and campaign-office addresses on the city list are not copied; personal-looking mailboxes left null.
- No acclamations for council; all school trustee seats in Woodstock were acclaimed (trustees not captured).
