2012 by-election results
A by-election held over 3 voting days ending December 3, 2012, to fill a single council seat that fell vacant mid-term, as certified by the City Clerk.
This was a by-election. Ward 8 became vacant during the 2010–2014 term. Only that one seat was on the ballot, so far fewer people voted than in a general election, and these vote counts cannot be compared with the ones on the general election pages.
Voting took place on 3 separate days: November 24, 2012, November 27, 2012, December 3, 2012. The certificate does not say which of them were advance voting days, so we do not label them.
