Incumbent Mayor Frank Scarpitti holds a commanding lead in the October 26, 2026 Markham mayoral race, reflecting his incumbency, lengthy tenure since 2006, and established visibility through city events. Nominations closed in late August with limited opposition, primarily from Martin Ross—whose candidacy stems from a prolonged backyard rink dispute—and Stephen Edgell. Trader pricing aligns with typical municipal patterns favoring experienced incumbents absent major disruptions. Late developments such as unforeseen scandals, health concerns, or unusually strong challenger mobilization on issues like development and accountability could still shift outcomes before voting.
