About Michelle Petersen
The City of Ottawa’s open data file of nominated candidates (workbook of August 29, 2026), sheet CEPEO, shows Michelle Petersen in Zone 6 with a nomination filed on August 11, 2026 and no withdrawal. The other nominations in the zone are Marc Roy, filed on June 10, 2026 and Marthe Foka, filed on August 13, 2026. CTV News Ottawa’s guide to the school board races lists Zone 6 as Wards 11 and 19.
The City’s 2022 results sheet for CEPEO Zone 6, as it was then, holds no votes and carries the line “Acclaimed”, so nobody ran in that race against the sitting trustee Marc Roy, who is also a candidate in 2026. The name Michelle Petersen does not appear on the sheet.
VoteMate lists Michelle Petersen for Zone 6 with a note that no profile has been uploaded and no promises added. No public office is on record in the profile, and the sources read hold no complaint or allegation about her.

What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 7, 2026: the City’s open data file of nominations, the City’s 2022 official results for CEPEO Zone 6, the board’s election page and Gouvernance page, and the VoteMate listing, which holds no profile text. CTV News Ottawa’s guide to school board candidates, published September 9, 2026 and updated October 5, 2026, was also read; it lists the candidate by name under the CEPEO and quotes nothing.
Gaps. The City’s page for the CEPEO could not be read, so the website and accounts that she gave the City are unknown. The general web search tool refused because the session’s search allowance was used up, so a campaign page or a post that only a general search would find may exist. ONFR articles that name a person called Michelle Petersen were found and left out, because nothing opened ties that person to this candidacy. An empty section records only that nothing was found, and she may have statements that voche.me has not seen. The voche.me questionnaire has not been sent.
