Toronto's mayoral race is heating up as incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow faces a challenge from Brad Bradford. According to CityNews, Chow's campaign is concerned that voters may accidentally cast their ballots for the wrong candidate, Braeden Chow, who is listed just before her on the ballot. To address this issue, the Olivia Chow campaign has taken steps to remind voters to double-check the full name of their chosen candidate.
The Toronto Sun reports that some are questioning whether Chow's record has been lacklustre, which may be giving Bradford an opportunity to gain attention. The two candidates are vying for votes in a tight race, with Chris Alexander having recently dropped out of the contest. According to CityNews, polls show Bradford steadily gaining momentum.
Olivia Chow herself nearly fell victim to the ballot mix-up, almost voting for Braeden Chow instead of herself. She noticed the similarity just in time and cast her vote correctly. Her campaign is urging voters to be extra careful when submitting their ballots to avoid a similar mistake.
