Torontonians elect a new council every four years, in October. ==Administration== The City of Toronto is legally bound by the ''City of Toronto Act'', an Ontario law. It lays down the division of powers, responsibilities and required duties of the corporation. The City Council is the only power able to enact Toronto laws, known as "by-laws", which govern the actions of the corporation and/or matters within its jurisdiction, such as administration of the Canadian ''Criminal Code'' within its borders.
