Map of Essex County showing the municipalities that use a Ward system for their Town Councils in Dark Blue, and an At-Large system (with the top 5 placed candidates elected) in Light Blue. Red is the City of Windsor and Pelee Township which are both nominaly part of Essex County, but are considered separate municipalities, and do not send members to the Essex County Council.
This page only includes the results for the towns of Essex County, and Pelee. While the City of Windsor (the largest population centre in the county by far) is nominally part of the county and counted in its population numbers, the city and its municipal government are a separate entity, and do not send any members to the County Council. The elections to Windsor's Mayor and City Council were held concurrently.
(NOTE: Elected candidates are shown in bold. An (X) indicates an incumbent candidate.)
