The 2006 Windsor municipal election occurred on November 13, 2006, to elect the Mayor of Windsor, Windsor City Council and the Greater Essex County District School Board, Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire catholique Providence and Conseil scolaire Viamonde.
The election was held on the same day as elections in every other municipality in Ontario, as well as the elections in neighbouring towns in Essex County.
This was the last election under the ward boundary system in which Windsor had five wards, each electing two councillors. The passage of By-Law 133-2009 in 2009 divided Windsor's 5 dual-member wards into 10 single-member wards.[1]
This was also the last municipal election held before the Ontario government passed Bill 212 - the Good Government Act in 2009, which increased the term length for Ontario municipalities to four years instead of three years.[2]
