Every candidate. The City of Ottawa’s Ward Boundaries and Council Composition By-law (By-law No. 2021-3), as amended, says the 2026 to 2030 term of Council is made up of the Mayor, elected by general vote, and 24 other members, elected on the basis of one member for each of the 24 wards. Voters in a ward choose one councillor, and the candidate with the most votes wins the seat. 24 of 24 wards have a candidate on City of Ottawa’s list so far. ## The City Council race 24 of 24 wards - [7 CANDIDATES**Ward 1 Orléans East-Cumberland**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-1-orleans-east-cumberland) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 2 Orléans West-Innes**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-2-orleans-west-innes) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 3 Barrhaven West**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-3-barrhaven-west) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 4 Kanata North**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-4-kanata-north) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 5 West Carleton-March**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-5-west-carleton-march) - [9 CANDIDATES**Ward 6 Stittsville**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-6-stittsville) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 7 Bay**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-7-bay) - [2 CANDIDATES**Ward 8 College**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-8-college) - [4 CANDIDATES**Ward 9 Knoxdale-Merivale**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-9-knoxdale-merivale) - [5 CANDIDATES**Ward 10 Gloucester-Southgate**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-10-gloucester-southgate) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 11 Beacon Hill-Cyrville**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-11-beacon-hill-cyrville) - [6 CANDIDATES**Ward 12 Rideau-Vanier**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-12-rideau-vanier) - [2 CANDIDATES**Ward 13 Rideau-Rockcliffe**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-13-rideau-rockcliffe) - [5 CANDIDATES**Ward 14 Somerset**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-14-somerset) - [4 CANDIDATES**Ward 15 Kitchissippi**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-15-kitchissippi) - [1 CANDIDATE**Ward 16 River**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-16-river) - [3 CANDIDATES**Ward 17 Capital**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-17-capital) - [5 CANDIDATES**Ward 18 Alta Vista**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-18-alta-vista) - [2 CANDIDATES**Ward 19 Orléans South-Navan**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-19-orleans-south-navan) - [2 CANDIDATES**Ward 20 Osgoode**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-20-osgoode) - [1 CANDIDATE**Ward 21 Rideau-Jock**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-21-rideau-jock) - [2 CANDIDATES**Ward 22 Riverside South-Findlay Creek**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-22-riverside-south-findlay-creek) - [4 CANDIDATES**Ward 23 Kanata South**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-23-kanata-south) - [5 CANDIDATES**Ward 24 Barrhaven East**](https://voche.me/on/ottawa-2026/races/councillor/ward-24-barrhaven-east) The count on each district is the number of candidates on the official list.
