Ottawa municipal election, 1956

The city of Ottawa, Canada held municipal elections on December 3, 1956.

Controller George Nelms is acclaimed as mayor, the last election in Ottawa's history where a candidate for mayor has run unopposed. Interestingly, Nelms was not the incumbent mayor, who was Charlotte Whitton who decided not to run again.

After four years of wards just having numbers, names were returned to each of the wards.
