CAUSE OF DEALY
Two days before the election on Oct. 24, the City of Cambridge declared an emergency under section 53 of the Municipal Election Act, 1996. As a result of the declaration, all results for the WCDSB from the City of Cambridge were voided.
The reason was the ballot for the position of WCDSB Trustee did not include all six certified candidates with two of the six being left off the ballot.
“The City of Cambridge is committed to a fair and transparent election process. While not mandated by the Municipal Election Act, the City has launched a third-party review to understand how and why the error occurred and to ensure improvements towards future processes,” the city said.
Costs associated with the municipal election, the resumption of the WCDSB election, and review are funded from the Election Reserve Fund. The City contributes annually to the Election Reserve Fund to support election work and preparation.
A report, including costs, is expected to be completed by the new year.
