DISCUSSION | Toronto Mayoral By-election Polls and Final Results
Olivia Chow Elected
Update:
The polling stations are now closed. We should have final results in a short time. I'll try to keep this thread up to date with the preliminary results over this evening.
There are quite a number of candidates (102, I believe!) as such, I will not be listing all of them here. I'll have links to the official results when they start coming in if you are curious about some of the lesser-known candidates.
