2026 Simcoe County municipal elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections will be held in Simcoe County, Ontario on October 26, 2026 in conjunction with municipal elections across the province.
Simcoe County Council
Following the passage of the "Better Regional Governance Act", the provincial government will appoint the Warden of the county, and shrink the size of council to 17, eliminating the deputy mayor positions. County Council will thus consist of the mayors of the county's 16 municipalities plus the chair.[1]
