About Sandeep Srivastava
Sandeep Srivastava appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Mayor. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 19, 2026 and no campaign website.
The City’s declaration of results for the 2023 mayoral by-election lists Sandeep Srivastava with 166 votes, in 57th place of 102 candidates. The Local says he also ran for mayor in 2022 and 2018, and for Councillor in Ward 23 Scarborough North. voche.me did not open the City’s results for those elections.
The VoteMate guide to the 2023 by-election carries a biography that it says was submitted by the candidate or his team. In it he says he came to Toronto as a teenager, graduated in computer science, holds project management and information technology certifications, is an information technology director at a company named CCANSI.COM, teaches at a college and has more than 15 years of project and program management experience. India Empire magazine reported in June 2023 that he came to Toronto from India as a teenager, and quoted his campaign statement that he wanted to build a Toronto Smart City and bring business and technology jobs back to Toronto. These are his own statements from 2023, and voche.me has not checked them against another source.
The Local’s candidate page, updated as of September 21, 2026, says there is little information online about him and that no platform of his is available. voche.me found no 2026 campaign website, platform or news report quoting him.

Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, The Local’s candidate page, the City’s declaration of results for the 2023 mayoral by-election, the VoteMate 2023 candidate page and an India Empire article of June 2023. All statements in his own words date from 2023.
Gaps. The City’s list shows no campaign website for him. An X account named Sandeep Srivastava, handle sandeepitguru, shows a profile line naming Complete Computer and Network Solutions Inc. and a sign-in page for posts. voche.me did not use it, because no source states that it is his, and its company name differs from the CCANSI.COM named in his 2023 biography. The 2022 and 2018 runs come from The Local only. The City’s Ward 20 by-election results of 2023 list a Sandeep Srivastava with 24 votes, and no source ties that entry to this candidate, so it is not used. No City or school board role is on his profile. Empty sections record that nothing was verified. They carry no judgment on what he may have said or done. The questionnaire has not been sent.
03 / Background
Experience & community
Information technology director and college instructor
In a biography submitted to the VoteMate guide in 2023, he describes himself as an information technology director at CCANSI.COM and a college instructor. voche.me did not confirm this with the company or a college.
