Elections 2022

The General Local Elections will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Polls will be open from 8 AM to 8 PM. 

Voters will be able to vote by mail, at advance polls, or on General Voting Day. Information will be updated as the election process continues.

Qualified electors in seven Electoral Areas (EAs) within the Columbia Shuswap Regional District will elect one person to the position of Director for a four-year mandate, ending in October of 2026. In the event that there is only one candidate in any of the EAs, that person will be acclaimed to the Director position.

New Electoral Area

This election will mark the addition of a new Electoral Area that is the result of splitting Electoral Area C into two separate areas. The new Electoral Area G will be comprised of the communities of Sorrento, Blind Bay and Notch Hill.

Referendum/Assent Voting

There is a single assent vote (referendum) being run regarding the proposed development of an indoor Aquatics Centre in Golden. Only residents of Electoral Area A and Golden can vote in this referendum because they are the only areas that will be paying for the new facility.
