How your city works

A short route through the basics: what the City does, who represents you, and what you vote for. Every fact along the way shows its source.

Start from zero

Four stops

Take the stops in order. Each one ends on a page you can use right away.

  1. See what the City actually does

    Start with the issues. Each page names what Brampton City Hall controls and what belongs to another government.

    Roads, water, schools and highways are owned by different governments. Once you see the split, the rest of the system makes sense.

  2. Meet your representatives

    Pick your ward once and see every person who represents you, body by body, plus who to call about a problem.

    Your ward stays on your device. The site never asks for your address and never sends your choice anywhere.

  3. Learn what you vote for

    Every seat on a Brampton ballot is explained: what the job is, which government it belongs to, and who elects it.

    A Brampton ballot has four races on it. The offices page walks through each seat and what it decides.

  4. Check the receipts

    Every fact here carries a source and the date it was checked. See how that works and how corrections happen.

    Nothing on this site asks you to trust it. Claims link to official pages, snapshots are dated, and the correction process is open to everyone equally.

That is the whole route. The section below walks through the ballot race by race, and the glossary at the end keeps every term in one place.

One Brampton ballot, race by race

Every race on a Brampton ballot, one step at a time.

  1. One ballot, four decisions

    On Monday, October 26, 2026, a Brampton voter marks one ballot that carries four races.

    Every voter in the city votes for mayor. The other three races depend on where you live and your school support.

  2. Mayor: one for the whole city

    Every Brampton voter chooses the same mayor, who leads City Council and also represents the city at the Region of Peel.

    This is the only race where the whole city votes on the same choice.

  3. City Councillor: your seat at City Hall

    You and the neighbouring ward in your pair elect one City Councillor together, for the things Brampton runs itself.

    Brampton groups its ten wards into five pairs for council races. Your pair shares this seat.

    Sources

  4. Regional Councillor: your voice at Peel

    The same ward pair also elects one Regional Councillor, who sits where water, waste collection and paramedics are run.

    The Region of Peel serves Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon together. This seat is how your pair of wards is heard there.

  5. Trustee: your school board seat

    The fourth race elects a school board trustee. Which board appears on your ballot depends on your school support.

    Brampton has two school boards, and each groups the wards differently. Your trustee race can involve different wards than your councillor races, and that is normal.

  6. Before you vote

    You need to be on the voters' list to vote. You can check and update your information at the province's official registry.

    The voters' list for 2026 is prepared on September 1. After that, changes go through the municipal clerk. The registry deadline for updating your information online is August 12, 2026.
