Results

Official results from the City's poll-by-poll releases. Money raised per vote received divides contributions by votes — it is not what the campaign spent, because the archive holds contributions and not expenses.

Contributor types

Individual, corporate and union money across every campaign.

Every contribution came from an individual — no corporate or union money.

When corporate and union money was allowed

Corporate and union contributions were still legal in the 2006 Toronto election. They were banned for city council and mayoral campaigns starting in 2010.

But that ban did not cover school board trustee campaigns. They kept accepting corporate and union contributions until a province-wide ban took effect for the 2018 election.

Third party advertisers, which were required to register starting in 2018, can still accept corporate and union contributions.

A small number of corporate contributions to council campaigns exists in the database after the ban. Some may have been for goods and services, or improperly recorded. The data doesn't tell us.

This candidate ran for council or mayor only, so any corporate or union money here should fall in 2006.

Largest contributors

Across every campaign. A contributor is identified by their full name and postal code together; 1 of these gave in more than one election. Individuals are shown by postal area only; organizations in full.
