To cast their ballots for the municipal election in these cities, citizens can start voting at designated locations beginning at 10 a.m. in Toronto and 9 a.m. in Mississauga. The late closing times of 7 p.m. in Toronto and 6 p.m. in Mississauga allow voters ample time to cast their votes. When heading to the polling station, bring a piece of identification with your name and Toronto address to present to election officials, though it does not need to be a photo ID. Detailed location information can be found on the Voter ID card or on the official election website. The mayoral races in both cities are highly competitive, with polls suggesting a tight finish. In Mississauga, incumbent Carolyn Parrish contends with former mayor Bonnie Crombie, councillor Alvin Tedjo, and Dipika Damerla. Toronto's incumbent Olivia Chow faces a challenge from councillor Brad Bradford and former MP Chris Alexander. Both the mayoral debates will take place on Tuesday night at TMU and on Wednesday evening at 5 p.m., both of which can be streamed live on CityNews 24/7. Additional information on advance voting schedules is available on the official election website.",
