How the council seats work
Brampton has 10 wards, grouped into five pairs: 1 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 4, 7 and 8, and 9 and 10. Each pair elects one regional councillor and one city councillor. The whole city votes for mayor. The winners serve from November 15, 2026 to November 14, 2030.
The City’s candidate guide says Brampton must appoint three additional members to Regional Council after each municipal election, and that they will be selected from among the five City Councillors.
