How to vote in London's Oct. 26 election: hours, ID, wards. File photo: London City Hall, Aug. 1, 2026. Photo: Chris Woodrich via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0. London voters elect a mayor, ward councillors and school board trustees on Monday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and unlike during advance voting they must vote at the location assigned to them on their voter notification card. The City of London's voter information page says you cannot choose another voting location on voting day. Voters can look up their ward and polling place with the city's online "Am I on the List/Where to Vote?" tool. Ward boundaries have changed for the 2026 election, so some residents will be voting in a different ward than in 2022, the city says. Checking the ward map before Monday will show which council race appears on your ballot. The deadline to update the voters' list online has passed, but eligible voters can still add their names in person at their voting location on Monday. To vote, you must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18, and live in London or own or rent property there, or be the spouse of an owner or tenant. Voters must show ID with their name and address and may need two pieces to cover both. Accepted documents include an Ontario driver's licence, Ontario photo health card or Ontario Photo Card, as well as a utility bill, bank statement, lease, property tax assessment or a post-secondary residence document, according to the city's list. Twelve candidates are on the ballot for mayor, including Mayor Josh Morgan, according to the city's certified list of candidates. CBC London's election guide profiles candidates ward by ward, including contested races such as Ward 10, where four challengers are trying to unseat a longtime councillor. Several local issues have shaped the campaign. The Middlesex-London Health Unit reported this month that opioid-related ER visits have already passed last year's total, months after the city's supervised consumption site closed. On the economic side, Hitachi Energy announced plans to build a $479-million pressboard plant in London. Results will be posted after polls close at 8 p.m. Monday.

Hitachi funds first transformer pressboard line for Canada. October 19, 2026 Part of a US$2bn US supply chain investment, Hitachi's Ontario plant brings critical production capabilities to Canadian transformer manufacturing Hitachi Energy has announced its plans to establish a 21,000 square meter Transformer Insulation Factory in Ontario, Canada, for the production of critical grid components. The CAD$479m (around US$330m) investment will institute Canada's first manufacturing line for insulation pressboard, a key material used to support transformer performance. "We're addressing a critical supply chain challenge while helping build a stronger foundation for the future of transformer manufacturing," says Helmut Bockshammer, Global Product Group Manager for Insulation & Components at Hitachi, in a LinkedIn post. "The quality, consistency, and availability of transformer insulation directly influence performance, reliability, and the ability to deliver transformers to the market when they are needed most,". Hitachi's Canadian investment at a glance: * The electrical manufacturing giant will invest around US$330m into a Transformer Insulation Factory in London, Ontario. * It will manufacture electrical insulation pressboard and laminates for power and distribution transformers. * The site will represent Canada's first pressboard manufacturing line and Hitachi's first in North America. * The factory is expected to be completed in 2028. * Hitachi Energy states it intends to invest more than US$2bn into boosting the North American supply chain, delivered through 2027. About Hitachi's landmark grid components facility. Hitachi's planned Transformer Insulation Factory will manufacture electrical insulation pressboard and laminates: essential components used to support transformer performance, electrical insulation and cooling. Its anticipated annual output could reach up to 20,000 tonnes of insulation material. The facility will establish a North American production base for key electrical materials, filling a pressing gap in domestic transformer component supply chains. Hitachi's US$330m investment is met by a combined CAD$50m (US$35.4m) in public funding from Natural Resources Canada, the Invest Ontario Fund, and Canada's Strategic Response Fund. "In the face of global economic uncertainty, our government continues to foster the competitive conditions needed for global companies to confidently expand their presence in Ontario and invest in long-term projects," says Vic Fedeli, Ontario's Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. Hitachi projects the planned facility will open more than 100 positions for skilled workers. Its production is anticipated to raise demand for Canada's forest-products sector, within a new high-value market. Additionally, the factory is expected to supply Hitachi's existing transformer operations in Vareness, Quebec, as well as wider North American markets, turning London, Ontario into a potential upstream supply hub. "We are proud to stand as a partner to Hitachi Energy's latest investment, which will create new, high-value jobs for local workers and further position Ontario as a central hub for advanced manufacturing projects powering the economy and future." Targeting a North American manufacturing bottleneck. The investment comes as Canadian electricity networks face rising demand from industrial electrification, renewable energy projects, data centres and the refurbishment of aged infrastructure. Transformers are essential to transmitting and distributing electricity at different voltages, making manufacturing capacity a critical part of grid expansion. However, additional transformer assembly capacity alone cannot resolve shortages if manufacturers cannot secure the specialised materials and components needed to complete production. Research from McKinsey describes a transformer market in which demand is outpacing supply. Its analysis projects global transformer demand to grow by around 3.5% annually, increasing by around 40% by 2035. Under its National Electricity Strategy, announced in May 2026, the Canadian federal government has set an ambition to double the country's electricity grid capacity by 2050. It estimates modernising and expanding its national electricity system could require more than CAD$1tn (US$709.3m) in investment. "Delivering that growth will require a stronger domestic supply chain," says Carla Vicente, Managing Country Director at Hitachi Energy Canada. Hitachi is positioning its planned Ontario facility as part of the domestic industrial base required to deliver that expansion. For local manufacturers and infrastructure buyers, the Transformer Insulation factory establishes a previously unavailable domestic production capability, with the potential to bolster supply chain resilience for critical transformer production. "This investment supports that ambition by bringing new manufacturing capacity for a critical transformer component to Canada and helping build the infrastructure that will power Canadian communities, industries and economic growth for generations to come," says Carla. Hitachi's US$2bn US supply chain commitment. The London project is one part of a wider regional strategy. Hitachi Energy has committed to investing more than US$2bn across North American supply chains through 2027. In Canada, its expansion programme includes a CAD$270m (around US$191.5m) investment at its transformer manufacturing facilities in Varennes, Québec. The planned developments could nearly triple large power transformer production capacity, Hitachi says. The company has also acquired London-based Canduct, which manufactures transformer insulation kits and components. The electrical solutions giant has also launched a bundle of developments to strengthen its US footprint: * A US$100m carbon-neutral railcar factory in Maryland, which began operations in September 2025. * A combined US$198m expansion to existing transformer and components facilities in Tennessee, Virginia and Pennsylvania. * A US$457m power transformer plant in Virginia announced in September 2025, which Hitachi states is the US' largest. * The establishment of a Power Electronics Centre of Competence for engineering, testing and system integration in North Carolina, announced in April 2026. * A new transformer manufacturing facility in Mississippi, announced in September 2026, for US$528m: Hitachi's largest US investment in its history. These investments cover different stages of the production process, from specialist insulation materials and components to large power transformers. "At Hitachi Energy, we are investing not only in manufacturing capacity but also in the infrastructure that underpins the future of energy," says Helmut. "As electricity demand continues to rise, we are taking decisive action to ensure the industry has the materials and capabilities needed to build the grids of tomorrow." Key companies.
