When Birdland votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Surrey council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown. The last general elections came on 19 October 2024 for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. The council elected on 17 October 2026 serves until 19 October 2030, when Surrey council is chosen again. The Local Government Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years.
