TORONTO Advance polls open today in a by-election being held to choose a new local councillor for Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt following the ouster of Jim Karygiannis. Karygiannis was removed from office halfway through his second council term over campaign expenses from the 2018 election. In council’s previous term, the area was represented by Karygiannis and former councillor Norm Kelly. Voters heading to the polls today have a wide range of choices, with 27 registered candidates and no incumbent.
A diverse, fast-growing area Whoever wins will represent a diverse and fast-growing part of the city. There are 105,000 residents in the ward, according to 2016 census records. The ward was about half the size prior to 2018 when the Ford government used its power to redraw local ward boundaries in Toronto, cutting council in half.
