2006 Markham municipal election
The 2006 Markham municipal election took place on November 13, 2006 to elect a mayor, 3 regional councillors and 8 ward councillors. The election was held with other municipal elections across Ontario on this date.
There was 4 candidates running for mayor, 9 candidates running for regional council and 41 candidates running for ward council. Provincial legislation passed in May 2006 extended municipal council terms in Ontario to four years rather than three. The council elected in 2006 will thus serve until 2010 rather than 2009.
