Longtime councillor Jan Harder's riding had four contenders this year.

With no incumbent mayor and at least 11 new councillors to be named, this election will dramatically change the council chamber, no matter who wins.

In the ramp up to the final week of Ottawa’s municipal election race, some council candidates say they have had issues with campaign material being defaced, removed, or even stolen.

This city has seen more than its share of transit woes this term, but the pandemic has created ridership problems the incoming city council will need to confront.

A candidate for councillor in Barrhaven is apologizing for removing an opponents campaign flyer from a doorway and dropping it to the ground while canvassing.

A man running for Ottawa city council is apologizing to another candidate for a "lapse in judgment" that was caught on a home-security camera and shared on social media. 

As of Friday, the lack of candidates in some wards was glaring with the nomination cutoff date approaching.
