The 2014 Hamilton municipal election occurred on October 27, 2014 to select one Mayor, fifteen members of the Hamilton, Ontario City Council and members of both English and French Public and Catholic School Boards. As per the Ontario Municipal Elections Act, nominations opened on January 2, 2014 and closed on September 12, 2014. Four new councillors were elected in open seats across Hamilton while all incumbents who stood for reelection were returned to office. Though marked by a steep decline in voter turnout, this election was historic, as it saw the election of Hamiton's first openly gay and first racialized members of city council.
