There’s an election race right now. No, not that one. Eleven candidates are vying for one seat, vacated by the late Michael Lewis, at the West Vancouver council table.
The last municipal byelection on the North Shore, held in 2004 to replace North Vancouver District mayor Don Bell, saw a 23.87 per cent voter turnout.
A byelection in 1991 drew 12.38 per cent of eligible voters. The West Van byelection is set for Nov. 19, with an advance voting opportunity on Nov. 14. Want to know more? Read the all-candidates Q&A in our Wednesday, Nov. 16 edition.
