City and Metro council

The election system was changed in Toronto for the 1985 election. Previously two councillors had been elected from each ward, with the one who received the most votes also getting a spot on Metro Toronto council in addition to their city council seat. For the 1985 the two positions were split, and voters now cast a separate vote for city council and for metro council. Most pairs of incumbent councillors reached tacit agreements with one running for city council and the other for metro. The one battle between two incumbents was in Ward 5 where in a surprise upset junior councillor Ron Kanter
