Municipal Election Information

Our next municipal election is coming on October 17, 2026. Local government has a lot of influence over our daily lives, and this is our opportunity to choose those who will represent us and make the many decisions that directly affect us, from housing density to local tax rates to filling pot holes. And yet these elections often have abysmal turnout. Don’t let that happen this time! Please vote on October 17th!

This municipal election is NOT the same as the provincial election on October 24th. Please vote in both elections!

The BCA is strictly nonpartisan, and we’ll never tell anyone who to vote for. But we strongly encourage voting, and this page is our guide to help you participate in the election.

We add information about candidates as it becomes available.

Municipal Election Voting Day: October 17

Our closest polling places are open 8 am to 8 pm:
