Running for local office

Residents of B.C. who are interested in running for office in general local elections must meet certain requirements to be nominated for and hold office if elected. In addition, how elected officials conduct themselves as individuals, and collectively as part of a decision-making body, is key to carrying out their responsibilities and providing good governance to their communities.

Provincial legislation sets out residency and nomination requirements, the nomination process, public access to nomination documents, how candidates run their election campaigns, as well as campaign financing and election advertising rules..
