2026 Municipal Election

Why This Election Matters

Oak Bay has seen significant change in recent years, and local government decisions continue to shape housing, transportation, climate action, livability, infrastructure, and the overall character of the community. This election will help determine who is around the table making those decisions for the next four years. OBNN encourages all residents to stay informed, learn about the candidates, and make a plan to vote.

What OBNN is Sharing

As we move through election season, this page will serve as a hub for local election information. We plan to share:

Our aim is to make it easier for Oak Bay residents to follow the election and participate in an informed way.
