Every four years the Capital Regional District (CRD) conducts local general elections to elect a Director to represent each of our three Electoral Areas (Juan de Fuca, Salt Spring Island and Southern Gulf Islands).
For Salt Spring Island, the CRD also conducts voting to elect four Commissioners to join the Salt Spring Island Electoral Area Director on the Local Community Commission (LCC).
For municipalities, each council appoints one or more elected official to the board. The formula is one director for every 25,000 population (or portion thereof). Check your local government website for information about elections in your municipality or area.
The CRD also conducts elections on behalf of the Islands Trust and the following school districts to elect local trustees.
