Surrey residents are urged to vote in the municipal election Oct. 17, when polls are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 52 voting locations in the city.<\/p>\n
The quadrennial election (every four years) sees Surrey voters pick a mayor, eight city councillors and six school trustees, similar to civic elections in other B.C. cities that day.<\/p>\n
The candidate nomination period<\/a> runs Sept. 1-11, followed by more campaigning for a month-plus.<\/p>\n Advance voting can be done Oct. 7, 10, 14 and 15 at 10 sites listed on surrey.ca<\/a>. Bring ID and voter card, which are mailed out in late September or early October. The Provincial Voters List from Elections BC is used to create Surrey\u2019s list of eligible voters.<\/p>\n Accessible voting options are available including curbside voting at all locations and mail-in votes. Voters can use Surrey\u2019s interactive voting locations map<\/a> to find a site and view wait times. <\/p>\n Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade booked a series of all-candidate forums well ahead of the civic election this fall. Forums in White Rock are Sept. 21 (for council candidates) and Sept. 22 (mayor) at White Rock Community Centre. The Surrey-focused forums are Oct. 6 (council) and Oct. 7 (mayor) at Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel.
