2022 Civic Election - Victoria

Because there are 37 candidates vying for a seat on council and eight people competing for the mayor’s chair, it’s difficult to be heard, says University of Victoria political science professor Michael Prince.

There are 202 candidates running for a spot on the capital region's 13 municipal councils. Add those hoping to become school trustees or CRD directors and the total rises to 264.

Thirty people are running for nine trustee positions in the Greater Victoria School District.
