Municipal elections are local elections where citizens vote for representatives to govern their city, town, or municipality, including mayors, councillors, and school board trustees.
Eligibility typically requires being a resident of the municipality, a Canadian citizen (or specific national equivalent), and at least 18 years old on election day.
Common offices include Mayor, City/Town Councillor (often by ward), Regional Councillor, and School Board Trustee, who oversee various local services and policies.
They directly impact local services like road maintenance, public transit, parks, zoning, policing, and property taxes, significantly influencing residents' daily lives and community development.
