The 2026 British Columbia general election will be held on October 24, 2026, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly to serve in the 44th Parliament of the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Date of the election
[edit]Section 23 of British Columbia's Constitution Act provides that general elections occur on the third Saturday in October of the fourth calendar year after the last election.[2][3] The previous election was held in 2024; the next election therefore was required to occur by October 21, 2028. Due to a snap election being called, the election will instead be held on October 24, 2026.[4] The same section, though, makes the fixed election date subject to the lieutenant governor's prerogative to dissolve the Legislative Assembly as they see fit (in practice, on the advice of the premier or following a vote of non-confidence).[2][5]
Background
[edit]The 2024 British Columbia general election was held on October 19, 2024. The incumbent New Democratic Party (NDP), led by Premier David Eby, won a narrow majority government, marking their third consecutive term in office.[6] The opposition BC United (formerly the BC Liberals) withdrew shortly before the election and endorsed the Conservative Party, led by John Rustad, who went on to form the official opposition.[7] The Green Party remained steady with two seats, but leader Sonia Furstenau lost her seat.[e][8] On December 13, the NDP and Greens announced a co-operation agreement.[9]
On January 28, 2025, Furstenau announced her resignation as Green Party leader. Jeremy Valeriote was named interim leader while the party organized a leadership election for September 2025, which was won by Emily Lowan.[10]
After months of party infighting in the Conservative caucus, on December 3, 2025, a letter was sent to the Conservative party president on behalf of 20 Conservative MLAs calling for Rustad to be removed as leader. The MLAs, who remained anonymous, said they had "lost confidence" in his leadership. Rustad dismissed the letter and refused to step down. Subsequently, the party executive declared Rustad "professionally incapacitated" and thus removed him as leader, and named Trevor Halford as interim leader.[11] Rustad disputed the legitimacy of his removal, saying "nothing has changed" and that he remains leader.[12] The following day, Rustad announced his resignation as leader.[13] The party's leadership election in May 2026 was won by former federal Cabinet minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Findlay would subsequently resign leadership of the party on September 20, 2026, after a series of MLAs left or were removed from caucus.[14] Findlay was also slated to run as the Conservative candidate in a by-election in Abbotsford-Mission on September 26, following the resignation of Reann Gasper, who resigned to allow Findlay to run for a seat; both the Abbotsford-Mission by-election and a second, unscheduled by-election in Vancouver-Strathcona were cancelled when Eby called the general election.[15][16]
