On October 17, 2026, British Columbia held its municipal election day, with voters choosing mayors, councillors, regional district directors, school board trustees, and park boards across 3,500 candidates in 189 local bodies, including municipalities and regional districts. Polls were open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., local time, requiring voters to meet eligibility criteria such as being at least 18 years old, Canadian citizens residing in B.C. for at least six months, and residents of the municipality they are voting in. Despite concerns about voter confusion due to an upcoming provincial election, CBC and Global BC provided comprehensive coverage throughout the day, broadcasting live results starting at 8 p.m., PT.
