The 2014 Toronto municipal election was held on October 27, 2014, to elect a mayor and 44 city councillors in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In addition, school trustees were elected to the Toronto District School Board, Toronto Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest and Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. The election was held in conjunction with those held in other municipalities in the province of Ontario. Candidate registration opened on January 2, 2014, and closed on September 12, 2014, at 2pm EST.

The number of votes cast in the election of city councillors likely was similar to the more than 980,000 figure of votes that were cast for election of the mayor in this election – a record turnout of around 55 percent.

Christin Carmichael Greb received perhaps the lowest percentage of the vote for a successful candidate in the history of Canada in this election. Less than 18 percent of the vote in her district was enough for her to take the seat in Ward 16. She received about 4000 votes, .4 percent of the voters cast across the city, although the seat she would fill would be 2.3 percent of the chamber.
