2023 Toronto mayoral by-election
← 2022 June 26, 2023 2026 →
Incumbent Mayor of Toronto

Vacant


The 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election will be held on Monday, June 26, 2023, to elect a candidate to serve as the mayor of Toronto for the remainder of the 2022–2026 city council term following the resignation of Mayor John Tory.

On February 10, 2023, Mayor Tory announced his intention to step down, leaving office on February 17, 2023. Pending the by-election, the deputy mayor assumes limited mayoral powers until a permanent successor is elected.

Background

Resignation of John Tory and subsequent vacancy

Tory was first elected in the 2014 mayoral election, and was re-elected in 2018 and 2022. On February 10, 2023, the Toronto Star sent a series of questions to the mayor regarding a relationship he had with a female staffer in his office during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tory confirmed the allegations, admitting to making a "serious error in judgement".[1] Later in the day, Tory announced his intention to resign as mayor of Toronto.[1]

Allies of Tory including city councillors Jon Burnside, Frances Nunziata and Gary Crawford had urged him to stay as mayor, and not resign the post.[2] Premier Doug Ford and the Toronto Police Association also encouraged him not to resign.[3]

Following the passage of the budget on February 15, Tory submitted a letter of resignation to the city clerk, to be effective February 17, 2023, at 5 p.m.[4][5] During the vacancy, Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie will perform the duties of the mayor's office until a permanent successor is elected.[6]

By-election process

Under the City of Toronto Act, Toronto City Council must declare the office of mayor vacant following Tory's resignation. Within 60 days, a by-law must be passed to set up a by-election. A nomination period for candidates occurs, lasting a minimum of 30 and maximum of 60 days after the formal declaration of a by-election and ends 45 days before the election.[7][8] The by-election is projected to cost the city approximately $13 million to run.[9]

The City Clerk's Office announced that it would recommend the nomination period open on April 3, 2023, and close on May 12, with the by-election to be held on June 26.[9][10] The office of mayor was formally declared vacant during the March 29 city council meeting and a by-law was passed to confirm the by-election.[11]
