2006 Elections

On 13 November 2006, Vaughan's municipal elections were held for City Council. In the elections, Regional Councillor Linda Jackson became mayor, Gino Rosati became a Regional Councillor, and Joyce Frustaglio, having received the most votes of all regional council candidates, becomes Acting Mayor. Following amendments to the Ontario Municipalities Act, the next elections will be held four years from this date (elections were previously held every three years).

Controversy

Following the November 2006 election, former mayor Michael Di Biase appealed the results of the elections citing possible errors in the ballot counting machines. The results were reviewed following a decision in his favour in Ontario Superior Court, concluding that the original result, the election of Jackson as mayor, was the correct one.^[2]
