Vaughan City Council is the lower-tier municipal governing body for the city of Vaughan, Ontario. It is a part of the upper-tier Regional Municipality of York. Members of the council are elected in three categories: wards councillors, citywide councillors, and a mayor. The wards have remained consistent since the 2010 election. Council positions Mayor Local and regional councillor Also known as simply regional councillors, anyone filling this position not only serves the people's interest on the Vaughan City Council, they are also responsible for representing the city at the York Regional Council. The regional councillor who receives the most votes in an election is also made the deputy mayor, whose role is to represent the mayor in their absence. For the extra work they do, the deputy mayor receives a 10% higher salary compared to a councillor.
