2026 election results

Barrie's municipal election of October 26, 2026.

These are unofficial results. They come from the City's unofficial results page on election night, not the City Clerk's certificate, which follows later in the week. When it is published, this page is transcribed again from the certificate, and anything that changed is noted on the updates page. Each race's leader is marked elected as the City's page highlights them, unofficially. Races the City had not yet counted when its page was read are not here yet.

Source: City of Barrie 2026 Unofficial Election Results (City of Barrie web page). Election held October 26, 2026. The City's results page. The City's unofficial election-night results page, first posted 8:57 p.m. on October 26, 2026; this copy taken 9:20 p.m. It is not the Clerk's certificate, which follows later in the week and replaces these figures here.
The page prints some names as candidates gave them ("Russell J. Tighe", and pronouns after three names); they are set as on the certified ballot. The trustee counts were posted later in the evening, and the two French-language boards' counts still read "TBD" when this copy was taken, so those races are not here yet. Each race's leader is marked elected as the page highlights them, unofficially. Read from the City's page on October 26, 2026, every name checked against the certified ballot.
