Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1932.
William James Stewart had been elected mayor the previous year. No one chose to run against him and so he was acclaimed as mayor, the first such acclamation since 1921.
Board of Control
There was one change on the Board of Control: Controller Albert Hacker was ousted as ex-mayor Sam McBride returned to municipal politics and won a spot.
