The 2022 British Columbia municipal elections were held on 15 October 2022. Municipal elections took place in all municipalities and regional district electoral areas in the Canadian province of British Columbia to elect mayors, school board trustees, rural directors and city councillors. Elections BC administered campaign financing, disclosure and advertisement of candidates; however, voting, ballots and candidate nominations were administered by each jurisdiction's local electoral officer.
The 2022 municipal elections saw a wave of centre-right mayors come to office, such as Ken Sim in Vancouver, Tom Dyas in Kelowna and Reid Hamer-Jackson in Kamloops, as a response to rising crime and homelessness in the province.
Mayors are elected using the first-past-the-post election system. City councillors, trustees and directors are elected using plurality block voting, where each voter has the right to cast up to as many votes as there are seats to fill.
