Windsor voters picked a new mayor on Monday, and five ward seats changed hands. Here is who now represents each ward, based on the City of Windsor's unofficial results with all polls reported, and what it means for you.

Mayor

Fred Francis won the mayor's race with 28,204 votes, or 47.64 per cent, with all 85 polls reported. Incumbent Drew Dilkens had 20,021 votes, or 33.82 per cent. Francis was the Ward 1 councillor.

Your ward councillor

| Ward | Councillor | Status | |---|---|---| | 1 | Darcie Renaud | New | | 2 | Frazier Fathers | Incumbent | | 3 | Renaldo Agostino | Incumbent | | 4 | Chris Holt | Back on council | | 5 | Ken Acton | New | | 6 | Jeremy Renaud | New | | 7 | Angelo Marignani | Incumbent | | 8 | Gary Kaschak | Incumbent | | 9 | Kieran McKenzie | Incumbent | | 10 | Mark Masanovich | New |

Five sitting councillors kept their seats. In Ward 10, Coun. Jim Morrison was the only incumbent who lost, to Mark Masanovich. Chris Holt returns in Ward 4, the seat he left in 2022 to run for mayor.

What it means for you

Your ward councillor is your first call on roads, snow clearing, parks, bylaw problems and anything else the City handles. If you are not sure which ward you live in, call 311. Windsor News will keep tracking what the new council promised and how it votes.

What happens next

The results are unofficial until the City Clerk certifies them. Under section 6 of Ontario's Municipal Elections Act, 1996, the new four-year term of office begins on Nov. 15, 2026, and runs to Nov. 14, 2030. Sitting members stay in office until then.
