Ward 20 election events — Scarborough Southwest
Three elections touch this ward in ten weeks: the provincial by-election on Thursday, September 3 (the riding of Scarborough Southwest), and the Toronto municipal election on Monday, October 26 (mayor, Ward 20 councillor, school trustee). This page is every event and date we have verified, in one place: debates, official voting dates, and the civic events where the ward gathers. City-wide rows are chipped City-wide so nothing is mixed silently.

Expected — not announced
These happened in the 2022 election cycle and are listed so you can watch for them — none of them is announced for 2026. Nothing here is a date until the host publishes one; when one lands, it moves into the schedule above with a source.

Where this comes from
Every row was read from the linked source — election authorities (Elections Canada, Elections Ontario, Toronto Elections), hosts’ own pages, and local reporting — on the date its stamp shows. “Search-corroborated” marks the weaker tier honestly: reported by a reliable search result whose primary page we could not fetch yet. Expected rows are 2022-cycle precedent only and say so. No event here is invented, and no candidate is named outside an all-candidates event’s own reported attendance. Something wrong? Use the door above — it takes thirty seconds.
