The 2024 Mississauga mayoral by-election was held on June 10, 2024, to elect the 7th mayor of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, to serve the remainder of the 2022-2026 term following the resignation of mayor Bonnie Crombie. The election, held under first-past-the-post voting, was won by Carolyn Parrish, a city councillor and former member of Parliament (MP). She defeated fellow city councillors Alvin Tedjo, Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko, and 16 other candidates. Parrish was sworn in as mayor on June 24.[3] [4]
A by-election for city councillor was held in Ward 5 on the same date, with incumbent councillor Parrish choosing to resign her seat in council to run in the mayoral by-election. That race was won by Natalie Hart who was also sworn in on June 24.
Background
Resignation of Bonnie Crombie and subsequent vacancy
In May 2023, Crombie announced that she had formed an exploratory committee for a candidacy for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party. The decision was made public days after the announcement of the dissolution of Peel Region.[5] [6] Her campaign was registered in June.[7]
Upon announcing her candidacy, Crombie said it would be restricted to evenings and weekends to allow her to continue as mayor of Mississauga. Councillor Carolyn Parrish publicly called for Crombie to take immediate leave, suggesting that her remaining in the position would hurt city-province relations. Councillor Stephen Dasko expressed concerns about collaboration with the province.[8]
By-election process
In June 2023, Councillor Alvin Tedjo spoke against the concept of an appointed mayor serving the remainder of the term if Crombie won. Mississauga was given strong mayor powers after the statement, a change that legislatively requires a by-election in this situation.[9] [10]
Councillor Joe Horneck is looking to ban candidates for mayor from holding the rotating position of acting mayor. The change was requested at the December 13 meeting of council. Mississauga News noted that John Kovac was acting mayor for December and January, and has not ruled out a run for mayor, and that announced candidate Carolyn Parrish is scheduled for February and March. Parrish agreed to the change. Councillor Matt Mahoney requested the concept be referred to the city's governance committee, who will meet January 29.[11] Acting mayors cannot use that title if they endorse a candidate.
The City of Mississauga estimates a $3.5 million cost to a by-election, to be funded from election reserves. Carolyn Parrish has decided to resign from her Ward 5 seat upon registering as a mayoral candidate; any ward by-election would cost $500,000. The city aims to hire 1700 election workers.[12]
On January 31, Mississauga City Council received a report from the city clerk, with recommendations on the election. It proposed that the nomination process last from March 6 to April 26, with the main election day on June 10. That day is a professional activity day for the two main school boards, freeing space for voting locations.[13]
