Elections were held in the organized municipalities in the Sudbury District of Ontario on October 25, 2010 in conjunction with municipal elections across the province.

Espanola
Councillor Mike Lehoux defeated incumbent mayor Bernie Gagnon in Espanola,[1] in a race which hinged largely on questions regarding the town's contract with Kilganan Group, a real estate developer whose plan for a new factory and residential development in the town has faced delays in 2010.[3]
The election also attracted a bit of humorous media attention to the council candidacy of Jill Beer. Because her surname resulted in her election signs bearing the slogan "Beer for Council", several were seen on lawns in Sudbury as well as in Espanola.[4] Beer won her seat.[1]

Nairn and Hyman
The election campaign in Nairn and Hyman was marked by two anonymous flyers circulated under the name "Concerned Citizens of Nairn and Hyman". The first attacked mayoral candidate Laurier Falldien and council candidates Wayne Austin, Bonnie Vataja, Shelly Lowery and Rod MacDonald, calling them the "Scream Team", while the other endorsed incumbent mayor Brian Channon and incumbent councillors Brigita Gingras, Charlene Martel and Ed Mazey, calling them the "Dream Team".[7] In the final results, the "endorsed" candidates Gingras, Martel and Mazey were all re-elected to council, along with the "unendorsed" candidate Rod MacDonald, but Falldien defeated Channon in an overwhelming landslide for the mayoralty.
