Together, the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, prescribe rules and impose deadlines with respect to filling a vacancy in the office of a member of City Council. This report identifies Council's two options for filling the vacancy in the office of Councillor for Ward 15 - Don Valley West resulting from the passing of Councillor Jaye Robinson. City Council must declare this office vacant at its next meeting on June 26-28, 2024. Then, within 60 days of the office being declared vacant, Council must either fill the vacancy by appointment or pass a by-law requiring that a by-election be held. The person appointed or elected to fill the vacancy will hold office for the remainder of the term, which ends on November 14, 2026.
