In addition, the city created this video for the 2022 election to help you understand the voting process.

There are many places to read about the platforms of candidates. Many candidates have their own websites and the City lists these alongside the candidates information on their website.

You can also check out the debates. Rogers has recorded and posted each of the debates so far. You can find them below:

You can find a list of debates for the month of September/October hosted by the Urban League at this link.

You can ask any question to the candidate about municipal services, or municipal issues. What are municipal issues? Here is a great link to learn more at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. You should ask about things that matter most to you. Is it active transportation (sidewalks, paths, snow removal for example?) Or is it transit? Each candidate can speak to you about their plan to include accessibility.

Yes! There are many great resources. A lot of the language around voting and municipal government can be confusing. These videos may help. In addition, there are some great resources below to help.

The good news is that London has many wonderful and engaged organizations dedicated to asking tough and important questions of all candidates.

Pillar Non-Profit gave a survey to each candidate and published their results at this link.

The London Chamber of commerce also asked all candidates for their feedback in a survey which you can find at this link.
