Hamilton Votes 2026

This tool was built to help voters filter and compare the mayoral candidates by issue, or to help look up who's running where you live. Positions are summarized from candidates' CBC Hamilton survey responses, their own campaign sites, and other public statements we could find and is not an exhaustive record of everything a candidate has said. "Not stated" means we didn't find a position on that issue in those sources, not that the candidate has none. Use the selectors below to help filter by issue and narrow down your selections. Happy voting.
