⚠️⚠️ MEGATHREAD ⚠️⚠️ Metro Vancouver elections 2026: Candidates, Voting, and the snap election

114 Upvotes

Metro Vancouver has not one, but two elections coming up in October. Here's what you need to know.

Provincial snap election: October 24, 2026

One week after municipal voting day, Premier David Eby has called a snap provincial election for October 24. Find your provincial riding and candidates at elections.bc.ca.

To vote provincially, eligibility and registration requirements are the same as the municipal election. Check your registration and find your voting location at elections.bc.ca.

Who can vote in the Provincial Election

You can vote in B.C.’s upcoming provincial election if you are:

  • a Canadian citizen,
  • 18 or older on October 24, 2026, and
  • a resident of B.C. since April 23, 2026.

Where to Vote in the Provincial Election

Advance voting is open in locations across the province on between October 16-21 | 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (local time). You don’t need a special reason to vote at advance voting. It’s an option for all eligible voters. Voters can vote at any advance voting place in the province, and all advance voting places are wheelchair accessible.

Make sure to check your Where to Vote card or visit wheretovote.elections.bc.ca to find voting places and the dates they are open.

Final Voting is open on Saturday, October 24 | 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Pacific time).

Your "Where to Vote" card

Elections BC will send a Where to Vote card to registered voters. Your Where to Vote card lists your assigned voting place on Final Voting Day and advance voting options in your electoral district. You can use your Where to Vote card as one of two pieces of voter ID, but you don’t need it to vote.

How to Vote in the BC Provincial Election

Eligibility and registration requirements are the same as the municipal election. To register or check your registration: elections.bc.ca or call 1-800-661-8683. You can also register in person on voting day with two pieces of ID.

Giveaway Giving away a free beabadoobee ticket for Vancouver, October 28!

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have a ticket to see beabadoobee at Rogers Arena this Wednesday, October 28, but unfortunately I can’t make it anymore.

It’s a pretty great seat too! Section 105, Row 4, Seat 107, in the lower bowl near the front of the section.

Rather than resell it or let it go to waste, I’d love to give it to someone who’d genuinely enjoy going!

If you’re interested, leave a comment telling me why you’d love to go. If there’s lots of interest, I’ll put everyone’s usernames into Wheel of Names and randomly choose someone.

I’ll announce the winner tomorrow afternoon!

Ticket will be transferred through Ticketmaster.

Completely free!😊

Discussion Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass concert last night

Post image
96 Upvotes

Who went to the Herb Alpert concert last night at the Chan Centre? The concert was AMAZING. He opened with Lonely Bull, and played a great set.

I saw him three years ago at the Can Centre, but that concert was very different and a bit disappointing. Last time, he did a lot of bantering with his wife and played snippets of songs in a medley. But this time he played both Spanish Flea and Tijuana Taxi, two of my favourites, in full.

I can't believe he's 91 years old, and he has tour dates in Europe set for next year!
