Standardization

Ward listings

I would like to standardize the way we list wards here so that, when councillors and trustees are referenced and wards are listed, there aren't a million different formats. The following formats come from the ward descriptions on the City of Hamilton website and from an intuitive understanding of the city. Here are the formats I propose:

Council

Ward 1 - Chedoke-Cootes
Ward 2 - Downtown
Ward 3 - Hamilton Centre
Ward 4 - Hamilton East
Ward 5 - Red Hill
Ward 6 - East Mountain
Ward 7 - Central Mountain
Ward 8 - West/Central Mountain
Ward 9 - Upper Stoney Creek
Ward 10 - Lower Stoney Creek
Ward 11 - Glanbrook
Ward 12 - Ancaster
Ward 13 - Dundas
Ward 14 - West Mountain
Ward 15 - Flamborough

Public School Board

Wards 1 and 2 - West Hamilton
Ward 3 - Hamilton Centre
Ward 4 - Hamilton East
Ward 5 - Red Hill
Ward 6 - East Mountain
Ward 7 - Central Mountain
Wards 8 and 14 - West Mountain
Wards 9 and 10 - Stoney Creek
Wards 11 and 12 - Ancaster-Glanbrook
Ward 13 - Dundas
Ward 15 - Flamborough

Catholic School Board

English Public School Board Ward Allocation Changes

As it is a story I covered, and thus far my journalism is the only reporting on the change, I cannot directly edit the main article.

Photos

With an apology, I just realized I failed to open license my election photos thus far. I'll begin importing them into Wikimedia Commons this weekend. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Municipal_elections_in_Hamilton,_Ontario JoeyColeman (talk) 00:54, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Give it a few hours for file name corrections, please. More photos were added today. New photos of mayoral candidates, and a few ward level candidates. JoeyColeman (talk) 21:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Polling stats

Why have polling stats not been updated since July 2022? Given the election is just 4 weeks away, could you please post the latest polling figures? 24.141.126.52 (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There have been no other polls. When there are polls, the page will be updated. HamOntPoliFiend (talk) 14:29, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
