2026 Election

Anmore’s next General Local Government Election will take place in October 2026.

In British Columbia, general local government elections take place every four years on the third Saturday in October.

These elections provide residents with a direct way to participate in local democracy by choosing the individuals who will represent the community and make decisions on their behalf for municipal government and the local school district during the next term.

Eligible residents of the Village of Anmore will have the opportunity to elect one Mayor, four Councillors, and one School Trustee (Anmore-Belcarra).

The Mayor, Councillors, and School Trustee will serve a four-year term from 2026 to 2030. Voters can participate on Election Day, Saturday, October 17, 2026, or take advantage of advance voting on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, as well as voting by mail.

This page will be regularly updated with important information, including candidate details, voting locations, and instructions for mail ballots, to help residents stay informed and fully participate in shaping our community’s future.
