2025 North Cowichan By-Election

Original author account: WWIND Staff · Local

Vote

GET OUT AND VOTE in the North Cowichan by-election

Advanced voting is available on April 2 and April 8, from 8 AM to 8 PM at Municipal Hall. If you miss those, the general voting day is Saturday, April 12, from 8 AM to 8 PM, with polling stations at:
- North Cowichan Municipal Hall
- Chemainus Fire Hall
- Crofton Fire Hall
- Maple Bay Fire Hall
- Cowichan Community Centre

In 2022, voter turnout for our municipal elections was shockingly low—only around 30%. We get it—municipal elections might not seem as exciting as federal or provincial ones. But here’s the thing: local politicians make the decisions that directly impact your daily life.

- Frustrated with how your tax dollars are spent?
- Unhappy with your property taxes?
- Disagree with the council’s priorities?

Then VOTE. This is your chance to make your voice heard.
