Ottawa voters head to the poll today (Oct. 24.) to elect a new mayor, councillors and school board trustees.
At least 11 new councillors and a new mayor will be elected.
The official results are going to be declared on or before Friday, Oct. 28 while unofficial results will be posted on ottawa.ca/vote after voting places close at 8 pm tonight.
Unofficial results will also be displayed on large screens in Andrew S. Haydon Hall at Ottawa City Hall shortly after 8 p.m.
The majority of the results are expected within an hour of the polls closing. Based on past experience, all results will likely be received within two to three hours. Unofficial results will be updated frequently until all votes have been counted.
An external auditor, hired by the city clerk, will validate election processes to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the results. The city clerk will only declare the results official after the auditor provides a final report. Official results will be posted on ottawa.ca/vote.
Visit ottawa.ca/vote after 8 p.m.
