It's election day in London.
The 15 people who serve at London City Hall will be decided after polls close on Monday night at 8 p.m.
If you haven't voted yet, you can head to the city's website to check your eligibility and where to cast your ballot.
Londoners will be electing one mayor and 14 councillors. As well as six trustees for the Thames Valley District School Board, four for the London and District Catholic School Board and one for the French Language Public Board.
Voting has also returned to the traditional first-past-the-post format, after the provincial government put an end to ranked choice voting. That means you'll vote for one candidate for Mayor and Council - no 1,2,3 rankings.
Here's a breakdown of the races to represent Londoners at 300 Dufferin:
Mayor:
Josh Morgan, who has been on council since 2014, is the heavy favourite. The city's deputy mayor since 2020, Morgan has the endorsement of outgoing Mayor Ed Holder, who decided not to seek re-election.
Khalil Ramal, the former London-Fanshawe Liberal MPP, is Morgan's biggest challenger in the race. Brandon Ellis, Dan Lenart, Norman Miles, Carlos Murray, Joanne Nichols, Sean O'Connell, and Sandie Thomas are also on the ballot.
Ward 1:
Incumbent Michael van Holst faces eight challengers:
Ryan Cadden, Janette Cameron, Ken Fischer, Oberon Goodden, Hadleigh McAlister, Julie Reynolds, Kenneth Saunders, and Shirley Wilton.
van Holst was no stranger to controversy during this council term. He started his own religion in an attempt to avoid vaccination requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also speaking at a People's Party of Canada event.
McAlister has the endorsement of London-Fanshawe MP Lindsay Mathyssen and the London and District Labour Council.
Ward 2:
Shawn Lewis won this seat in 2018, defeating longtime incumbent Bill Armstrong by a large margin.
In 2022, he's a near lock to be re-elected. His only opponent is Mike Yohnicki, who registered to be on the ballot during the final week of nominations.
Ward 3:
Mo Salih, who represented this ward for two terms, decided not to seek re-election.
Peter Cuddy, who sits on the Thames Valley District School Board, is seeking to replace him. Ainsley Graham has received the endorsement of London North-Centre MPP Terence Kernaghan. Prabh Gill, Saifullah Qasimi, and Bob Wright are also on the ballot.
Ward 4:
Following the departure of Jesse Helmer, Ward 4 is open during this race and there's several serious campaigns being run for the seat.
Jarad Fisher, Colleen Murphy, Sylvia Nagy, Matt Nicolaidis, and Susan Stevenson are all relative newcomers to having their names on London electoral ballots. The wildcard is Stephen Orser. The controversial former councillor held the Ward 4 seat for two terms between 2006 and 2014. However, his campaign has been less noticeable than usual in 2022 - with few signs and little media attention. Expect a close race in this ward.
Ward 5:
Maureen Cassidy, the two term incumbent, announced she wouldn't be seeking re-election on the final day of nominations. There are two candidates looking to fill her old job. Jerry Pribil, who ran for the Progressive Conservatives in June's provincial election, and Connor Pierotti. Pribil came into this election with more name recognition, but Pierotti's campaign has been well-organized and this race could be one of the closest ones in the city.
Ward 6:
Mariam Hamou was appointed to the Ward 6 council role in October of 2021, following the resignation of Phil Squire. She's the first Muslim woman ever to hold a seat on London City Council, and is expected to be in a close race with Western University Professor Sam Trosow. Hamou also has Holder's endorsement.
Ward 7:
Morgan has represented this ward since 2014, but his run for Mayor means it's an open race in this election. Thames Valley District School Board trustee Corrine Rahman is the favourite to win this contest. She's up against Sharon Deebrah, Tommy Caldwell and Evan Wee.
Ward 8:
Steve Lehman is the incumbent in this race and he has three people challenging him for his seat. Former Green Party candidate Colleen McCauley is on the ballot, as are Sarvarinder Dohil and Patrick O’Connor.
Ward 9:
Anna Hopkins is seeking her third term on London City Council. Baqar Khan, Jacob Novick, Veronica Warner, and Mario Jozic are the four others are on the ballot for the Ward 9 council seat.
Ward 10:
Longtime Councillor Paul Van Meerbergen won the ward back in 2018 and is looking to be elected to a council seat for a fifth time. He faces a challenge from Kevin May, who has run a strong campaign. Former People's Party of Canada candidate Michael McMullen is on the ballot, as are Claire Grant and John Kuypers.
Ward 11:
Councillor Stephen Turner said he's not seeking re-election and has endorsed Skylar Franke to take over his role at city hall. She's in a close race against Dad Club London founder Jeremy McCall. Paul-Michael Anderson, Cole Fobert, and Christine Oliver are the other candidates on the ballot.
Ward 12:
Elizabeth Peloza, the city's budget chair, is expected to win re-election in the ward that she won in 2018. David Godwin, and Alex Main are running against her. Main ran for Mayor in 2014.
Ward 13:
The seat was won by Arielle Kayabaga four years ago, but when she was elected Member of Parliament in London West she left the seat empty. John-Fyfe Millar, who finished second in that 2018 race, was appointed to replace her. Fyfe-Millar has faced challenges from Alexandria Hames, David Millie and David Ferriera. Millie ran for Mayor in 2018, finishing 7th.
Ward 14:
Steve Hillier was a surprise winner four years ago. However, his re-election bid hasn't been smooth. He asked candidate Danalynn Williams to drop out of the race not long before nominations closed. The two of them are competing for votes with Sarah Lehman, who has an extensive history of community involvement.
