I have no idea who all the candidates are

You can hardly be blamed for being overwhelmed. There will be 102 names on the ballot for mayor(yes, you read that right), more than any other election in the city's history.

We reached out to each and every single one of those candidates to ask two things: why they want to be mayor, and where the public can find more about their platforms. Not every candidate responded, but you can read the answers of those who did here.

If that's all a bit much, public opinion polls suggest there are about seven or eight candidates who have emerged to lead the field.

Find more from them below.

Where do the leading candidates stand on issues?

All of the top candidates have websiteswhere you can find their full platforms or a list of all their various promises.

To save you from that timely undertaking, CBC Toronto put together an interactive platform tracker where you can quickly compare where those candidates stand on the issues of housing, public safety, transit,tenant protections, gridlock, livability and the city's budget. Check it out here.

We also hosted a mayoral debate on June 6 that touched on a lot of key topics. You can read a recap here or watch the whole contest below:
