2018 Muskoka District municipal elections

Elections were held in the Muskoka District Municipality of Ontario on October 22, 2018 in conjunction with municipal elections across the province.

Muskoka District Council

edit

The Muskoka District Chair was originally intended to be elected by the voters in each of the municipalities. Incumbent Chair John Klinck as well as former Chairs Gord Adams and Hugh Mackenzie had filed to run for election as Chair. However, on the last day of the 2018 nomination period, Ontario Premier Doug Ford cancelled the separate election of the Muskoka District Chair.[1] As a result, the Chair will instead be elected by members of the District Council on December 10, 2018.[2]
