1894 Toronto municipal election
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on January 1, 1894. Warring Kennedy was elected, defeating Mayor Robert John Fleming, who was seeking a third term. Kennedy's upset was credited to the increased turnout by Methodists due to the plebiscite on Prohibition as well as the strong organized support for Kennedy by the Protestant Protective Association and the Orange Order.

Plebiscite
Under the Prohibition Plebiscite Act, a plebiscite was held across the province, in conjunction with municipal elections, on the prohibition of the importation, manufacture, and sale alcohol. For this plebiscite, unmarried women, and widows, were allowed to vote - approximately 5,000 women in Toronto - of which 1,117 did so. Men and women were given different colours, which were counted separately. The plebiscite did not result in the enactment of prohibition legislation by the province, however, as in 1896, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council disallowed provincial authority over the importation of alcohol.;Prohibition
