Information for Voters

Voter Registration and Qualifications

The Voter’s Guide to Local Elections in B.C. contains detailed information on voting. An overview for both Residents and Non-residents is provided below.

Resident Voters who were registered with Elections BC prior to August 18, 2026 will appear on the Voters list. If your name is not listed you may still register at the time of voting.

Non-Resident Voters (people who own property in the CVRD but live elsewhere), can apply to register as a Non-Resident Property Elector at the time of voting. You must provide two pieces of identification and proof that you are the registered owner on title. If the property is owned jointly with other individuals, you must also provide written consent of the majority of all the owners to vote as the non-resident property elector in relation to the property. Only one non-resident elector may vote per parcel. Please see the list of CVRD Voting Places that applies to your property location.

Non-Resident Property Elector Applications and consent forms for CVRD Electoral Areas and Thetis Island Local Trust Area can be downloaded and submitted to the Legislative Services Division, 175 Ingram Street, Duncan, BC, during regular business hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays. For more detailed information about registration procedures, contact the Legislative Services Division by phone or email.
