Nominations close for 2026 General Local Election

September 11, 2026 – Williams Lake, B.C. – The nomination period for the 2026 General Local Election has officially closed, with candidates putting their names forward to represent communities across the Cariboo Regional District (CRD).

The list of candidates nominated by the 4:00 p.m. deadline is now available at www.cariboord.ca/localelection.

While the nomination period has closed, the candidate list is not yet final. Candidates have a period following the close of nominations when they may withdraw their nomination. Once the withdrawal period has ended, the CRD will publish the official list of candidates.

Electoral Areas with only one candidate will see that candidate elected by acclamation. Where more than one candidate is running, voters will choose their Electoral Area Director in the 2026 General Local Election.

General Voting Day is Saturday, October 17, 2026, with advance voting opportunities also available on October 7 and 13. Residents can visit www.cariboord.ca/localelection for voting locations, candidate information and the latest election updates as they become available.
