Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them. Councils are elected on the fourth Monday in October every four years, says the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, so Vaughan votes next on 28 October 2030. The Legislative Assembly of Ontario was last elected on 27 February 2025, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025.
