Wards
A ward system allows for fair public representation and the authority of the Township of West Lincoln as a whole. There are three wards in the Township of West Lincoln.
Ward 1 Caistor
Ward 2 Gainsborough
Ward 3 Smithville
How does a ward system work?
For election purposes, each ward is broken down into polls to streamline the voting process. The Mayor is elected “at-large” by all eligible electors (in all wards). The remaining six Members of Council are elected on a ward basis. Eligible electors in each of these wards elect two candidates to sit as Members of Council to represent their ward and the interests of the municipality.
