This Candidate's Guide has been prepared for candidates seeking office to the City of Toronto Council. Its contents are not meant to cover all information required by a candidate in a municipal election it is intended only as a guide to certain relevant legislation. Candidates should refer directly to the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 for specific provisions and additional details. The Act is available from Publications Ontario, 777 Bay Street, Toronto, 416-326-5300 or at
www.e-laws.gov.on.ca.

Candidates must satisfy themselves, through their own determination or with the assistance of their own legal counsel, of the various legal requirements relating to their candidacy. In addition, candidates must comply with all the requirements relating to election campaign finances.

As the year progresses, candidates will receive additional information from the Clerk's Office. Therefore it is imperative that candidates notify the Clerk of any address changes. As many of these mailings are sent via registered mail, it is important for candidates to claim their registered mail. Candidates who are participating in the electronic filing will receive all documentation via e-mail except for those documents that the Act states must be sent by registered mail.

If you have any questions please call Elections and Registry Services at 416-395-0025 or e-mail candidateinfo@toronto.ca.

Thank you.
