2010 Windsor municipal election

The 2010 Windsor municipal election occurred on October 25, 2010, to elect the Mayor of Windsor, Windsor City Council and the Greater Essex County District School Board, Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire catholique Providence and Conseil scolaire Viamonde.

The election was held on the same day as elections in every other municipality in Ontario, as well as the elections in neighbouring towns in Essex County.

This was the first election held in Windsor after the passage of By-Law 133-2009 - which divided Windsor's 5 dual-member wards into 10 single-member wards.

After the election, runner-up candidate John Elliott requested a recount from City Council due to the three vote margin of victory between him and the winner Ron Jones. It was granted, and held on November 10, where it found that Ron Jones had received 2,111 votes and John Elliott had received 2,106 votes. All of the remaining candidates' vote totals remained unchanged from the initial count.
