The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is holding the 2026 general local election for eligible voters in each of the twelve Electoral Areas for individuals to serve as Electoral Area Directors. Electoral Area Directors are responsible for representing their constituents as part of the Board of Directors, which makes decisions and govern the Regional District.

During the election process, candidates generally outline their platforms and objectives if they were to be elected. By choosing the candidates with the ideals and qualities that are most acceptable to the electors, citizens can directly influence the nature of the community where they reside or own property.

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.
