The 2014 Hamilton municipal election was a municipal election that occurred on October 27, 2014,[1] to select one mayor, fifteen members of the Hamilton City Council and members of both English and French Public and Catholic School Boards.[2] As per the Ontario Municipal Elections Act, nominations opened on January 2, 2014, and closed on September 12, 2014.[3] Four new councillors were elected in open seats across Hamilton while all incumbents who stood for re-election had returned to office. Though marked by a steep decline in voter turnout, this election was historic, as it saw the election of Hamilton's first openly gay and first racialized members of city council.[4]
