Here is a general guide:
- Understand what the municipal government is responsible for (see above) and the job of members of council
- Make a list of issuesthat are important to you, your community and Ontario, for example:
- climate change
- housing
- public transit
- policing
- job creation
- Assess candidates’ platforms, promises and views
- How well do they engage, listen, understand and act on the needs of residents?
- background
- education
- work experience
- community involvement and engagement
- social media profiles for views and interests
- all candidates debates and Q&As for promises and priorities
- donations to federal and provincial political parties and candidates
- Compare what each candidate says they will do to address each issue.
- Review incumbents’ past performance (what did they actuallydid)
- voting record
- committees served on
- meeting attendance

- Compare what each incumbent says they will do to address the issue.
