Rob Hamilton

Appeared on the ballot in Barrie municipal elections. This page is a record of those candidacies.

On the City's list of council members

The terms the City of Barrie's own list of council members, 1837 to 2022, shows Rob Hamilton serving, with the office and any note as the City prints them, and the milestones of each council: events from the City's history and notes, dated. The full list is on Barrie's mayors and councils.

Boards and committees

Public bodies Rob Hamilton has been appointed to or recorded serving on, from this site's record of Barrie's boards and committees.
Each line is one sourced statement — a council motion, a board's own member list, a provincial order or a news report — so a seat held for years can appear several times. The record is incomplete, especially before 2013.

Electoral record

In office: Mayor Ran, not elected

Offices held and elections contested by Rob Hamilton 2000 2004 2008 2012 MPMayorMayor
When Rob Hamilton held office (lines, coloured by office) and the elections they contested without winning (dots).
Terms are drawn from election records alone: a line runs from each election to the next one for that office — or ends early where winning a different office ended the term — so a resignation for any other reason would not appear here. Council terms before 2003 come from the City of Barrie's list of council members, which gives years only, and are drawn by year; federal and provincial races before 2000 come from the official historical results. Hover or tap any mark for the detail; the table below is the record.

Federal and provincial rows come from Elections Canada and Elections Ontario results.
They are a different level of government on a different ballot, so their vote counts are not comparable with a municipal count. See the full riding history for how Barrie's ridings have been drawn and renamed since 1999.
