Several incidents occurred during advanced polling on the weekend of November 4–5, 2006, leading to Li Preti and Perruzza accusing each other of dirty campaigning and the breaking of numerous elections. Perruzza beat him by 579 votes. The contest was repeated in the 2010 municipal election with Peruzza prevailing by 352 votes. Following his loss, Li Preti was found to have cheated in his 2010 election campaign. A forensic audit ordered by the City of Toronto’s Compliance Audit Committee determined that Li Preti had, contrary to Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act, accepted 46 corporate contributions and overspent his campaign spending limit by $3,065 or 13%.
