Elxn26 Ottawa is a youth-oriented municipal election podcast covering youth participation in Ottawa’s democracy and the policies of different candidates who hope to shape Ottawa’s path into the future.

Time will be dedicated to what the municipal election process is like in Ottawa, why it’s important to be engaged, how to engage, and what City Hall is doing to increase transparency and youth engagement.

Interviews with mayoral candidates, select councilor candidates, youth voices, and electoral experts will provide greater context and understanding of the municipal election on October 26, 2026.
