Provincial Election

No information at this time.

If a person registers for the federal election are they automatically registered for the provincial election?

No, residents need to register with Elections BC to get on the provincial voters' list, which is used by municipalities for the municipal election. Contact Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 or register online at http://www.elections.bc.ca

Federal Election

When is the Federal General Election?

The 44th Canadian federal election will take place on or before October 16, 2023. The Chief Electoral Officer may recommend an alternate day for a fixed-date general election if the date set for polling is not suitable for that purpose.

That said, the Canada Elections Act does not prevent a general election from being called at another date.

General elections are called when, on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Governor-General dissolves Parliament. The Governor in Council (the Governor-General, acting on the advice of Cabinet) sets the date of the election.

How do I register for the Federal Election?

Call Elections Canada 1-800-463-6868 or visit their website at http://www.elections.ca

Who is eligible to vote in the federal election?

A Canadian citizen must be 18 or older on Election Day and are registered to vote.

Am I registered to vote in the Federal Election?

If you are registered to vote you should receive a voter information card in the mail. If you do not get a voter information card contact Elections Canada.
