Toronto election live updates: Polls close in less than hour

Don’t know where to vote? Unsure if you even can vote? Here’s everything you need to know in order to have a say in who the next mayor is.Borrowing a tactic from the business world, the Star performed “360 performance reviews” of the leading contenders in the mayoral race. We talked to people all around the candidates — those who have worked above them, next to them and under them — to understand their strengths and weaknesses as voters prepare to decide who will be Toronto’s next leader.

Rishab Mehan recalls his then boss, Coun.

Mehan, now director of development planning for the Chicago Housing Authority, calls Bradford a “natural leader” who responded “by doing what he does best — reaching out to lots of folks in the community, holding meetings, conversations, to understand what the concerns were — big forums of people to have a conversation.Olivia Chow is the great organizer of the left. Can she be a unifying mayor?

Gallagher had a personal stake in the vote. He was then councillor Olivia Chow’s chief of staff and his partner had AIDS.
