Hamilton Election 2026

School board trustees

Hamilton voters also elect school board trustees. The certified candidates, by board and trustee area, as the clerk lists them.

Which trustee race you vote in depends on your ward and your school support (public or Catholic, English or French). Find your ward with the City of Hamilton’s ward lookup: Find my Ward.
