Who is new on council?
Compared with the City’s official 2022 results, seven of the ten council winners hold the same seat they won in 2022: Vicente, Palleschi and Medeiros as regional councillors, and Santos, Brar, Keenan and Singh as city councillors. Rod Power, who won the city councillor seat for Wards 7 and 8 in 2022, now leads the regional race for those wards.
Two winners were not elected to Brampton council in 2022: Sukhman Sangha in the Wards 9 and 10 regional race, a seat Gurpartap Singh Toor won in 2022, and Taran Chahal in the Wards 7 and 8 city race, the seat Power held.
Brampton’s closest races
The Wards 9 and 10 regional councillor race was the tightest council contest. Sukhman Sangha led Gurpreet Singh Dhillon by 286 votes, 7,406 to 7,120, out of 29,345 votes in a nine-candidate field.
Among school board races, the closest was the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board seat for Wards 1, 3 and 4, where Anisha Thomas led Amanda Baez by 137 votes, 1,687 to 1,550.
Ontario law requires an automatic recount only when there is a tie, the province’s 2026 voters’ guide says. A council can have its own policy with other reasons for an automatic recount, and a recount can also be requested within 30 days after the clerk declares the results, or ordered by a Superior Court judge on an eligible voter’s application.

How did Brampton voter turnout compare with 2022?
Brampton voter turnout was 28.77 per cent in 2026: 123,133 ballots from 428,012 eligible voters, the City’s unofficial results say. That is about 36,000 more ballots than in 2022, when 87,115 people voted for a turnout of 24.56 per cent. Advance voting was already running ahead of 2022, as our Brampton voter turnout report found before election day.
Are these results final?
No. Election-night numbers are unofficial. Under Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act, the City Clerk declares the official results, usually a few days after voting day, the province says. Our explainer on how Brampton’s election results become official covers the count, the declaration and recounts in detail.
Brampton Brief will update this article when the City posts its official results.
What happens next for Brampton’s new council?
Brampton’s new council takes office on November 15, 2026, for a four-year term ending November 14, 2030. Before then:
- Official results: the City Clerk declares the winners.
- Recount window: a recount request can be made within 30 days after the declaration.
- Regional Council seats: the mayor and the five regional councillors sit on Peel Regional Council. Three city councillors are appointed to Brampton’s remaining Regional seats after the election, as our regional vs. city councillor explainer explains.
- Campaign finances: every candidate must file a financial statement by the provincial deadline, which falls on March 30, 2027 at 2 p.m. this cycle, the province’s voters’ guide says.
Brown returns with strong mayor powers under Ontario law, including proposing the City budget. Our guide to Brampton’s strong mayor powers explains what the mayor can and can’t do.
