We have learned of a delay in Canada Post delivering requested mail ballots for the 2026 City of Victoria Local Government Election. Completed mail ballots must be received by the City by 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, to be counted.

Here’s what you can do to avoid missing out on voting.

If you receive your requested ballot in the mail this week:
❌ Do not place a completed ballot in the mail.
✅ Return a completed mail ballot:
▪️ to the drop box at the Pandora Ave. entrance of City Hall by 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17
▪️ during an advance voting opportunity this week
▪️ or to any of the 12 voting places on General Voting Day by 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17
➡️ If you’re not able to deliver your completed mail ballot in person, you can have someone drop it off on your behalf.
➡️ When you visit a voting place to drop off a completed mail ballot, do not stand in line. Place it in the Mail Ballot Box or ask an Election Official for assistance.

If you have not yet received your requested ballot in the mail, we encourage you to visit an advance voting opportunity this week (Oct. 13, 14 & 15) to vote in person.

For full details on General Voting Day and advance voting locations, visit victoria.ca/election.
