The Toronto council seat vacant since Rob Ford's death will be filled today. 

Voters can go to the polls in the Ward 2 byelection starting at 10 a.m. to elect one of the 12 candidates in the race to represent Etobicoke North.

Polling stations around the ward will accept their final ballots at 8 p.m. Residents will also elect a new Toronto District School Board trustee for Ward 1 and 2, because the former representative, Michael Ford, resigned to run for the council seat.

Those running for council are: 

  • Stacey Agard
  • Chloe-Marie Brown
  • Jeff Canning
  • Kevin Clarke
  • Michael Ford
  • Chai Kalevar
  • Annette Lubinski
  • Christopher Noor
  • Glen Smith
  • Christopher Strain
  • Ken Street
  • Jimmy Talpa
