General Information
Like other communities in British Columbia, island communities elect their Islands Trust representatives (Local Trustees) every four years. In total, there are 26 trustees elected across the Trust Area. If a vacancy occurs during the term, the Islands Trust conducts by-elections to fill the vacant Local Trustee position for the remainder of the term.
We will e-mail you the election results and other updates if you subscribe to Trust Council News.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing website has general information about local government elections in British Columbia including a Voter's Guide that outlines who is qualified to vote.
Islands Trust elections are administered in accordance with Part 3 of the BC Local Government Act, under contract to seven Regional Districts in the Trust Area. Bowen Island Municipality manages its own elections.
