Official order of candidates’ names now available for the 2022 Vancouver Election ballot

The official candidates’ names to be listed on the 2022 Vancouver Election ballot is now available. Vancouver Election Office staff conducted a draw tonight to determine the order of names on the ballot, in accordance with section 79 of the Vancouver Charter.

As in 2018, candidates’ names will not be listed alphabetically on the ballot, but in random order to ensure an equal playing field for candidates. This election, there will be a number beside each candidate’s name to make it easier for voters to remember the order when planning their vote.

A Plan Your Vote online tool will be available starting Thursday, September 22 to help voters pick candidates, remember answers to the Capital Plan borrowing questions, and choose a convenient day and place to vote. Voters can also use the Plan Your Vote worksheet in the printed Voters’ Guide that shows the names in official ballot order.

  • Saturday, October 1
  • Wednesday, October 5
  • Saturday, October 8
  • Tuesday, October 11
  • Thursday, October 13
• Election Day – vote from any of 82 voting places on October 15 from 8am to 8pm

Voters are strongly encouraged to vote in advance or by mail, to allow more time to navigate the random order list on the ballot. Advance voting opportunities tend to have shorter line-ups. 

Why a random ballot draw?

Research has shown many voters are more likely to vote for those listed first on a ballot. Candidates at the top of an alphabetical list are perceived to have an advantage over those lower down.
