What is a by-election

A by-election is held to fill vacancies on City Council, Park Board, or School Board that occur between general elections.

By-elections are a rare and important part of the democratic process. In the City of Vancouver's 138-year history, only 17 by-elections have been held, with the most recent in 2017.
