How Fred Francis voted: recorded votes, 2022 to 2026
By Windsor News Desk | Updated Oct. 28, 2026
Councillor Fred Francis's recorded votes in the 2022 to 2026 term, taken word for word from the City of Windsor's approved minutes.
Recorded votes in the minutes that name Fred Francis: 101, from Nov. 28, 2022 to Sept. 14, 2026. Most council decisions are not recorded votes: the minutes only say "Carried" or "Lost". A recorded vote happens when a member asks for one, and the Clerk then lists each member by name. This page shows those votes only, so it is not a full voting record.
An abstention here means the minutes list the member under "Abstain", usually after declaring a conflict of interest. Absent means the minutes list the member as absent for that vote.
