2026 General Local Elections
Local government elections are held every four years, providing residents with an opportunity to elect representatives who will serve their community.
On election day, qualified voters cast ballots for the candidates they want to serve the municipality. The Village of Nakusp is responsible for administering the election and sharing information about when, where, and how residents can vote.
The general local election will take place on October 17, 2026, with an advance voting opportunity available on October 7, 2026, in the Auditorium at the Nakusp & District Sports Complex (300 8th Ave NW).
Considering Running for Office?
For those interested in becoming an elected official, the Village has created a "Candidate Guide." This guide outlines key information, including roles and responsibilities, expected time commitments, meeting procedures, and other important details. Additionally, the Village will host two in-person sessions for the public to attend, ask questions, and have conversations with the Chief Administrative Officer about what it means to serve on Council.
