It's shaping up to be one of the most exciting elections in Ottawa in more than a decade.

Voters will be electing a new mayor and at least 11 new councillors on Oct. 24. Candidates have been certified, and campaigns are in full swing.

This is your one-stop shop for information on who's running in Ottawa's newly redrawn 24 wards and the long list of candidates vying to be the next mayor. 

You can find a complete list of candidates for councillor below, separated by ward. To help you understand who the candidates in your ward are and what they stand for, we asked them to complete a questionnaire — and more than 80 responded. You can read their answers in the ward profiles.

As for the 14 mayoral candidates, you can find out more about them, and their questionnaire responses, here.

Election day is Monday, Oct. 24, with advance voting days done.

For the first time ever, voters from across Ottawa could vote by mail. The deadline to apply for a special mail-in ballot was Sept. 16.

For more information about where and how to vote, visit the city's election page or CBC's guide.

CBC Ottawa is sending detailed questionnaires to all candidates and their answers will added later this month, as will many more stories about the race as the campaign continues.
