Two years ago, on October 24, 2022, Renfrew residents (well, some of them, anyway) cast their vote for candidates vying for Renfrew Town Council positions.
It’s important to note that only 2,788 out of 6,459 eligible voters cast ballots that day, representing 43.6% of the total number of people in town who qualified to vote.
Hardly a ringing exercise in democracy, but there you go.
Voters got one vote for mayor, and I believe four (maybe five?) for councillor. Eight individuals ran for councillor. A voter did not have to use all of their votes for councillor if they chose not to.
The following graphics will show what percentage successful candidates received of the actual vote, as well as a percentage relative to the potential eligible vote.
Also featured are committee and board assignments, as well as other positions with flowery titles.
So, for your information, here is Renfrew’s Town Council on the second anniversary of their landslide victories.
