We've spent this term proving that neighbours can govern collaboratively, responsibly, and with the whole city in mind. October 17 is about whether we get to see that work through, or start over from scratch.

To request a mail ballot, you will need to submit an application to vote by mail (applications available starting September 17 2026, Mail Ballots available starting October 7). The application and additional information will be available on the City’s election webpage and for pick-up at City Hall closer to the election.
What You'll Need to Vote
You can vote as a Resident Elector if you:
- Are 18 or older on October 17, 2026
- Are a Canadian citizen
- Have lived in BC for at least six months
- Live in Maple Ridge
Own property here but live elsewhere?
You may qualify as a Non-Resident Property Elector if you've owned real property in Maple Ridge for at least 30 days. The same age, citizenship, and BC residency rules apply, and only one owner per property can register, with majority consent from co-owners.
