The whole election in one honest place — the races, the records, the receipts. All sourced. You decide.
London's last municipal election, in 2022, drew just 25.5% turnout — a historic low, down from 39% in 2018 and 43% in 2014. Roughly 71,000 people decided who runs city hall for everyone else, and some ward races came down to a few hundred votes, sometimes a few dozen. Council decisions touch your daily life more directly than most people realize: whether a shelter or hub opens near you, how fast a pothole gets fixed, how much of your tax bill goes to policing versus housing, whether your street gets transit. In a 25% turnout election, one ballot simply counts for more than it does in a federal election with 60-70% turnout. Whatever you think city hall should do differently, October 26 is the most direct lever you have. City of London Open Data — Election 2022 Voter Turnout Results ↗
No donations, no ads, no memberships — this project doesn’t take money. Four things help more:
Group chats, Facebook groups, the neighbour who says their vote doesn't matter — that's how this spreads. There's no ad budget; you're it.
Spot an error, a dead link, or something unfair? corrections@londondecides.ca. Corrections are made promptly and noted.
Every candidate gets the same questionnaire. If yours hasn't answered, ask them why — verbatim answers get published, and “no response” is public information too.
An issue your street cares about that isn't on your ward page? Say so. The best pages here were built from what residents actually raise.
