Unofficial until certified. Election-night and early counts are unofficial until the responsible election office certifies them, and figures can change after recounts and verification.

Quebec (October 5): a Parti Québécois minority

The Parti Québécois won 60 of 127 National Assembly seats and will form a minority government led by Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. Liberals won 39, Conservatives 19, Québec solidaire 9 and the CAQ none (Assemblée nationale, October 14). Read the full breakdown in our Quebec election results guide.

Alberta (October 19): voters choose to remain in Canada

Alberta held a 10-question provincial referendum on October 19. On the separation question, 1,552,251 of 2,071,486 valid votes (74.9%) chose “Alberta should remain a province in Canada”, and 519,235 (25.1%) supported beginning the legal process toward a future binding referendum on separation. The margin was 1,033,016 votes. The question was non-binding. According to a report on Elections Alberta’s completed unofficial results, voters supported five provincial policy proposals and rejected all four proposals to pursue constitutional amendments.

Elections Alberta confirmed the unofficial count was completed at 9:14 p.m. on October 24 after several days of delays. The agency has said results are not final until the official announcement, scheduled for October 29 at 10:00 a.m. (Elections Alberta). Until then every figure is unofficial. Our Alberta news summary was written from early-count figures (about 76.5% remain), so use the completed unofficial numbers above.

British Columbia (October 17): local elections declared

The Chief Election Officer declared official results on October 21. Highlights from the cities’ own declarations, as shown on our city pages:

• Vancouver: Pete Fry (Green) was declared elected mayor with 98,748 votes. Turnout was 43.4%: 209,711 ballots out of 483,324 registered voters, up from 36.3% in 2022 (City of Vancouver). The Vancouver Sun reports he unseated Ken Sim. Council has four parties and no single-party majority. See the Vancouver page.
• Surrey: Doug McCallum was declared elected mayor (CBC News reports a return for a fifth term). See the Surrey page.
• Burnaby: Mike Hurley was declared elected mayor. See the Burnaby page.
• Victoria: Marianne Alto was re-elected with 13,505 votes (44.2%) to Bruce McGuigan’s 10,531 (34.4%); turnout was 41.44% (City of Victoria). See the Victoria page.

BC city councils: councillors elected at large (no wards)

British Columbia’s cities elect their councils at large: every voter chooses candidates for the whole council, so there are no wards. That means there is no ward-by-ward table for BC. Instead, here is every elected councillor with their votes where the City’s official declaration publishes them. Councillor ballots allow one vote per open seat, so councillor totals add up to more than the number of ballots cast.

Vancouver: 10 councillors (City of Vancouver, official, declared October 21)

The same declaration lists seven Park Board commissioners and nine school trustees, with votes, on the City of Vancouver’s official results page. Vancouver’s four-party council: COPE 4 seats, Green 4, OneCity 1 and ABC Vancouver 1 (our count from the table above).

Victoria: mayor and all 21 council candidates (City of Victoria, official, certified October 21)

Surrey: eight councillors declared elected

The City of Surrey’s Declaration of Official Election Results, signed October 21, 2026, names Doug McCallum as mayor and eight councillors: Harry Bains, Doug Elford, Meera Gill, Mandeep Singh Nagra, Suhana Gill, Allison Patton, Laurie Guerra and Cheney Cloke. Apna News, reporting the City’s official results, gives McCallum 42,741 votes (31.94%) to incumbent Brenda Locke’s 30,886 (23.08%), says Bains topped the council poll with 31,362 votes, Cloke won the last seat by 232 votes over Mike Bose, and puts turnout at 134,437 ballots (37.35%). Those figures are from a media report; the City’s own declaration page lists only names, and the per-candidate totals on the City’s results site were still labelled preliminary when we checked, so we do not print a full Surrey vote table.

Burnaby: eight councillors declared elected

The City of Burnaby’s declaration of October 21 names Mike Hurley as mayor and the councillors Joe Keithley, Cindy Lee, Ryan Erwin, Maita Santiago, Daniel Tetrault, James Wang, Richard T. Lee and Kiran Singh. The declaration page does not list vote counts, so councillor votes for Burnaby are not yet published there.
