Monday’s municipal election looks to be a close contest between five major candidates vying to be Calgary's mayor, but they’re not the only city hall hopefuls who have thrown their hat into the ring.

In a recent poll conducted by Janet Brown for CBC News, the five mayoral options who received the most support are incumbent candidate Jyoti Gondek, outgoing Ward 1 councillor Sonya Sharp, former city councillors who previously ran for mayor in 2021 in Jeromy Farkas and Jeff Davison, and former police commission chair Brian Thiessen.
