Former city councillor Clive Doucet wants to be Ottawa's next mayor, while former talk show host and TV news anchor Carol Anne Meehan runs in Gloucester-South Nepean.

A couple of names, well-known to residents in the Ottawa region, will be on municipal ballots in this fall's election.

The deadline to submit or withdraw a nomination in Ottawa's election was Friday at 2 p.m.

Just after 12 p.m., former city councillor Clive Doucet registered to challenge Jim Watson and 10 others for the mayor's seat.

.@CliveDoucet is running against Mayor @JimWatsonOttawa. Doucet received around 40,000 votes when he ran against Watson in 2010. Doucet says there aren't any known candidates running against Watson this time around, and he fears there will be no debate. #ottnews #OttVote #ottcity pic.twitter.com/M3tsuunMDm — Saif Kaisar (@StaySaif) July 27, 2018

At nearly the same time, former 1310 NEWS talk show host and long-time local news anchor Carol Anne Meehan visited the city's election office on Cyrville Road to announce that she will also be running for municipal office.

She registered as a candidate in the ward of Gloucester-South Nepean.

Meehan will be running against incumbent Michael Qaqish, as well as Harpeet Singh, Irene Mei and Zaff Ansari in this fall's election.

Listen to Carol Anne Meehan giving her first interview as a city council candidate on 1310 NEWS' The Rick Gibbons Show:

There will be at least four new city councillors elected for the next term in Ottawa, as Innes Ward's Jody Mitic, Kanata North's Marianne Wilkinson, Bob Monette in Orleans, and Bay Ward's Mark Taylor have all officially bowed out.

There are 17 candidates running for the seat in Orleans.
