2017 council appointment

Ward 6 fell vacant mid-term and council filled it by appointment rather than by a by-election. Nobody voted.

This was not an election. Ward 6 became vacant during the 2014–2018 term and was filled by council appointment rather than a by-election. 32 people applied and council selected one of them. There was no ballot and no electorate, so nobody on this page won or lost a vote. An applicant who was not chosen did not lose an election, because there was not one.

The City's own document is headed “List of Candidates for Appointment”, which is why these applications are recorded here alongside the electoral record.

Every application on the City's list, counted cumulatively. The recovered document does not state when the application window opened, so the axis begins at the first application on record. The dashed line is the application deadline — 4:30 p.m. on July 4, not the later date the City's own list happens to be dated (July 10, 2017). Nobody voted — council chose from this field.
