Durham residents can now consult municipal websites for unofficial results from Monday’s municipal and school-board elections. The first post-vote figures are available through local results pages and linked reporting services, but an unofficial tally is not the same document as a clerk-certified result.
Brock, Clarington, Oshawa and Uxbridge explicitly tell readers that certified results will be posted when available. This roundup provides the municipal source links; it does not project winners. The later Whitby-only certification update is identified above.
Where to check your municipality
- Ajax official results source — Town-linked results service; unofficial municipal and English-language school-board tallies.
- Brock official results source — Township results page; the clerk’s certificate will be posted after certification.
- Clarington official results source — Municipal election page linking the unofficial count and the separate results page for certification.
- Oshawa official results source — City results page; it says official results will be posted once certified by the City Clerk.
- Pickering official results source — Results service linked from the City’s homepage for all voting methods.
- Scugog official results source — Township’s October 26 unofficial municipal and school-board results notice.
- Uxbridge official results source — Township’s 2026 unofficial results; a clerk-certified certificate is to follow.
- Whitby official results source — Whitby results are now certified: Town Clerk Christopher Harris’s EL 32, signed October 27. Turnout: 30.83%; eligible electors: 120,873; electors who voted: 37,267. Declined/rejected counts remain pending.
Turnout is not the same as votes for one office
Ajax’s results service reported 33,511 participating electors, or 32.4%, including 355 who declined their ballot. Clarington’s service reported 29,520, or 34.0%, including 152 declined ballots. Brock reported 4,487 voters, or 40.5%, while Uxbridge displayed unofficial turnout of 9,268 out of 18,771 electors, or 49.4%.
Those are the municipalities’ own turnout figures, not this newsroom’s estimates. They should not be substituted for the vote total in a particular mayoral, council or trustee contest: the official services separately display contest-level information.
Check the full trustee reporting area
Brock and Uxbridge direct readers to Scugog for the complete Durham District School Board trustee result. The local trustee figures on their own pages should not be mistaken for the full shared-area count.
For any race, use the section explicitly labelled 2026 and look for later certification notices. Some municipal pages also retain previous election results. This article does not reproduce trustee names or declare anyone elected.
Sources and verification
All eight municipal source pages above were opened on October 27. Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge provided readable results text. Oshawa and Whitby provided the official landing-page notices, but their embedded tallies were not readable in the page extraction; Pickering’s linked results application likewise did not expose its counts. No numerical results from those three applications are asserted here.
- Clarington’s municipal-linked results service, full results text checked October 27 for its turnout figure.
- City of Pickering homepage, checked October 27; explicitly links its unofficial results service for all voting methods.
- Durham Radio News election-night roundup, full report read October 27 for discovery and cross-checking of official links. Its media declarations are not treated here as municipal certification.
- AllAboutDurham.com’s Uxbridge coverage, published October 27 and read in full in the sister-site feed; its source link was followed and checked independently. This roundup is an original summary.
