Regional district directors are elected as part of local government elections in British Columbia. In the Cariboo Regional District there are 12 electoral area directors who are voted on directly by residents and/or property owners eligible to vote in that electoral area. Four regional directors represent the 4 municipalities within the CRD and are appointed by their respective city councils.
If the office of a director becomes vacant, a by-election may be held to fill the position. In addition to elections and by-elections, the CRD may also hold assent votes (referendums) as needed. An assent vote is initiated when it is necessary to get approval from the electors for a proposed service.
Read the CRD's election bylaws for more information on election procedures.
