The 2026 Ottawa mayoral election is currently scheduled to be held on October 26, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who becomes the next mayor of Ottawa as a result of this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder mayors appointed before the election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting; however, if there is any ambiguity in the results, this market will resolve according to official information from Ottawa.Incumbent Mark Sutcliffe maintains a clear lead in the Ottawa mayoral race ahead of the October 26 vote, consistent with trader consensus reflected in current market pricing. Recent July polling shows him at 36% among decided and leaning voters, ahead of homebuilder Alex Lawson at 26% and Councillor Jeff Leiper at 25%, with Neil Saravanamuttoo at 11% and substantial undecided voters. Sutcliffe’s support has declined from earlier levels, yet the opposition remains fragmented, widening his advantage. Lawson has gained ground by highlighting infrastructure issues such as a proposed ring road, while Leiper’s numbers have softened. Nominations close August 21, after which campaign dynamics and further polling could influence positioning before election day.
