Ann Mulvale

The 2003 Oakville municipal elections took place on 10 November 2003, to elect a regional government chair and a town mayor and 6 town councillors and 6 town and regional councillors in Oakville, Canada.

Contents

Oakville elects two councillors from each of six wards to its town council for a total of 13, including the mayor. Each ward elects one of its two councillors to serve also on the 21-member council of the regional government of the Municipality of Halton. The mayor of Oakville is a voting member of both councils. The other members of the Halton Council come from Burlington (7), Milton (3) and Halton Hills (3), plus the directly elected at-large chair of the region.

In addition, school trustees were elected to the Halton District Public School Board, Halton District Catholic School Board, Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest and Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. These elections ran in conjunction with those in all other municipalities across the province of Ontario (see 2003 Ontario municipal elections).

Mayoral Race

Three candidates ran for mayor, with two frontrunners Ann Mulvale, and Rob Burton, getting a combined 98% of the vote.

The close results precipitated a court battle for a recount and presaged a rematch 3 years later that reversed the results the recount upheld. [1]

The election night count gave Mulvale a 12 vote lead over Burton, but concerns over irregularities prompted the Burton campaign to call for a recount. [2] A recount was conducted in March 2004, showing Mulvale had beaten Burton by 28 votes (15,758 to 15,730). [3]
