South Frontenac is the most populated of the Frontenac Townships. It was created in 1998 when Bedford, Loughborough, Portland, and Storrington townships amalgamated. It contains the highest valued agricultural land in Frontenac County and a numnber of hamlets on the rim of Kingston: Inverary, Battersea, Sydenham and Harrowsmith; as well as the more northern hamlets Verona and Perth Road. It also contains some of the premier Recreational Lakes in the County and is home to Frontenac Park and the Depot Lakes complex.

In its 16 year history, there have been only two Mayors of South Frontenac, Phil Leonard (1998-2006) and Gary Davison (2007-2014) With Davison not seeking re-election this time around, there will be a new Mayor elected. There are four wards in South Frontenac, with boundaries that are indentical to those of the founding townships, and two councillors are elected in each ward.

Voters in South Frontenac also elect school board representatives

South Frontenac Township will be using an electronic voting system for the second time during this election. Voting runs from October 20 until the 27th, when the votes will be tallied. Voters should be receiving a PIN number in the mail along with information about how to vote either by phone or computer. For further information contact the townwship at 613-376-3027 or go to Southfrontenac.net and look for the election tab under Town Hall in the top menu.

(Note: Two of the Districts, Storrington and Bedford, are not having council elections this time around because there are only two candidates nominated in each district. therefore Pat Barr and Alan Revill have been declared elected in Bedford and Ron Sleeth and Norm Roberts have been declared elected in Storrington. Bedford and Storrington residents will be voting for Mayor and school board trustees in the Limestone District Public School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic School Board)
