Election to take place December 10 at Inaugural Session
Mayor Michael Donohue of the Township of Admaston/Bromley and Mayor Jennifer Murphy of the Township of Bonnechere Valley have both been nominated for the 2026 Warden’s seat.
A ballot vote by County Councillors will take place on December 10, 2025 during the Inaugural Session of County Council to decide who will assume the Office of the Warden of the County of Renfrew for 2026.
A formal nomination process takes place annually for the Office of Warden, and any member of County Council is eligible after being nominated by two fellow council members. The successful councillor then fills the Office of Warden for a one-year term.
The Warden fulfills the role as head of council. The nomination process closed at noon on November 14, 2025 (the second Friday in November) and if there is more than one nomination, an election is required at the December meeting to determine the Warden for the upcoming year.
This marks the second consecutive year that there will be an election for Warden.
