The next general local elections will be held on October 17, 2026.
General local elections include elections for:
mayors and municipal councillors
regional district directors
school boards trustees
specified parks boards
local community commissions, and
the Islands Trust.
Unlike provincial elections, local elections are not managed by one organization.
Each local government is responsible for running its own local elections, including voting, counting, reporting results, and accepting candidate nominations.
