Methodology

Vote counts, rankings, and elected status come from the City of Vancouver's official results page (Unofficial 2026 Vancouver Election Results; published Oct 18, 2026 and declared by the City Election Chief Executive Officer Oct 21, 2026), mirrored in this project's verified fact sheet (docs/2026-election-results.md). Candidate backgrounds aggregate the City of Vancouver's official election page (vancouver.ca/your-government/2026-candidate-information.aspx) and Wikipedia's article on the 2026 Vancouver municipal election. All positions in Vancouver's municipal election are at-large — there are no ward-specific councillor races. Every voter casts one vote for Mayor, ten votes for Councillor, seven for Park Board, and nine for School Board. A candidate's party affiliation reflects the elector organization (civic party) they are nominated under, as registered with the City. Bio text is sourced from each candidate's official campaign materials where available, otherwise from Wikipedia or verified news coverage. This dataset covers the Mayor and Councillor races; Park Board and School Trustee results (including all three Capital Plan plebiscite questions passing) are on the city's official results page. Note: campaign bios were written before election day and describe each candidate's platform as filed; they are retained for reference alongside the final results. Data is current as of 2026-10-21.
