How is the Mayor elected?

The Mayor is the Head of Council and is elected at large by all eligible electors in the municipality.

How are Municipal Councillors elected?

Clarington is divided into four wards. Each ward has 2 representatives, a local Councillor and a regional Councillor. Electors in each ward can choose only among the candidates who are running for election in their specific ward. View Clarington's Ward Map to find out who your Councillor is.

What about Regional Council?

The Mayor is a member of the Regional Council. In Clarington, two regional Councillors (one representing Wards 1 and 2; one representing Wards 3 and 4) are elected by the voters to sit on both the regional and local Councils.
