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. Surrey council was elected on 17 October 2026, and the next vote is on 19 October 2030. The Local Government Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on 19 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025.

elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
