Burlington

In Burlington, the City Council has directed the consultant team to bring back ward boundary options that maintain six wards in the city. This means each councillor will continue to represent one of the six wards and serve as regional councillors on Halton Regional Council. Seven design options for the ward boundaries were proposed, considering representation by population, future population trends, communities of interest, and geographic representation. Public engagement and Council decision on whether to adjust or maintain existing boundaries will occur in spring 2025, with any changes implemented for the 2026 municipal election.

In Annapolis, there are eight wards with candidates listed for upcoming elections, but no district changes reported. Other cities like Midland and Frederick have election updates but no ward boundary modifications from December 2024.
