Up first: councillors will appoint to fill vacant seats in Ward 5 and Ward 20. Coincidentally, @neville_park is looking for the Ward 20 job.

.@neville_park is up now, making their pitch to councillors to be appointed councillor in Ward 20.

.@neville_park: "Love him or hate him, Adam Vaughan is a smart ass. And by god I can be that smart ass."

.@neville_park says they aren't a "paid union stooge" or a journalist. Covers city hall obsessively because "I just love this place."

Doug Ford says he loves @neville_park's sense of humour and their analogies. But he won't vote for them.

Councillor McMahon asks @neville_park how they feel about @downtownginny. Everyone is having a good time.

Ward 20 appointment candidate Urgen Kuyee cites J.K. Rowling, Kobe Bryant and Warren Buffet as he makes his pitch to city council.

Councillors will use a run-off system to appoint these replacement councillors. Because using first-past-the-post would be unfair.

Quick & Dirty. Here's the results of the first ballot for the Ward 20 vacancy appointment. We're going to round 2. http://t.co/K5WPqBMReI

If Ramkhalawansingh gets round two votes from Perruzza, Ainslie and Carroll, she's got enough to win. Otherwise: round three.

Results from 2nd ballot are in. Ceta gets 22. Lunney gets 18. @neville_park gets 1. Stubborn support!

Clerk declares Ceta Ramkhalawansingh the Ward 20 appointee. Big shoes to fill, big nameplate to order. Congratulations.

Here's the round two voting chart for the Ward 20 appointment. Ceta Ramkhalawansingh appointed to the seat. http://t.co/rE0TAMlmUI
