The Next Municipal Election Will Be Held Monday October 26, 2026.

Municipal Elections

Municipal elections in Ontario are held every four years on the fourth Monday in October and are governed by the Municipal Elections Act. Municipal elections give residents the opportunity to elect local representatives who make decisions that affect daily life in our community, including roads, recreation, land use planning and community safety.

Participating in local elections helps ensure Council reflects the needs and priorities of the entire community.

Council Composition

The Council of the Cramahe Township is composed of the following members, all elected at large:

1 Mayor

1 Deputy Mayor

3 Councillors

Cramahe Township does not have wards. All members of Council represent the Township as a whole.
