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.Mark Sutcliffe holds a commanding lead in the Ottawa mayoral race due to his incumbency since the 2022 election and broad name recognition across the city. Nomination filings in May 2026 confirmed him as the front-runner, with main challenger Jeff Leiper—the long-serving Kitchissippi councillor and deputy mayor—positioning himself as the primary progressive alternative through early registration and platform announcements on transit, housing, and planning reforms. The October 26, 2026, vote date remains fixed, and trader consensus reflects Sutcliffe’s structural advantages in municipal contests where incumbents historically prevail. Minor candidates Neil Saravanamuttoo, Alex Lawson, and Catherine McKenney register negligible support, consistent with limited campaign visibility and fundraising to date. No major late-breaking developments have altered these dynamics in recent weeks.
