Background

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.[1][2] 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 province's premier or following a vote of non-confidence).[1][3]

The Electoral Boundaries Commission was required to complete redistricting following the 2020 general election. The government appointed commissioners in October 2021. Their final report was completed April 3, 2023,[4] and the Legislative Assembly approved the Electoral Districts Act on April 25. The number of seats in the Legislative Assembly will increase from 87 to 93, with new seats in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, Langford, and Kelowna.[5]
