The Silver Star Community holds approximately 40% of voting power for Area C***

It is time to fully participate to ensure our voice is heard at the RDNO!

How Will You Vote?

• In person only
• There is NO mail-in voting
• There is NO corporate vote
• There is no need to pre-register to vote as the registration of qualified electors will take place at the time of voting

There are two types of electors:

• Resident electors
• Non-resident property electors

Resident Electors (you live at Silver Star as an owner or renter)

To register as a resident elector you must:

• be 18 years of age or older on voting day
• be a Canadian Citizen
• be a resident of B.C. for at least 6 months immediately preceding the day of registration (at time of voting)
• be a resident of Silver Star at time of voting, and
• not be disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election or assent voting and not otherwise disqualified by law.

Resident electors will also be required to produce 2 pieces of identification (at least one with a signature).  Picture identification is not necessary.  The identification must prove both residency and identity.

Non-Resident Property Electors (you own property but do not live at Silver Star)

• Are registered owners of the property, either as joint tenants or tenants in common
• Are individuals who are not holding the property in trust for a corporation or another trust
• NOTE:  If more than one person is registered as an owner of the property, only one of those individuals may, with the written consent of the majority of the owners, register as a non-resident elector.

Non-resident electors will be required to produce 2 pieces of identification (at least one with a signature) to prove identity and that they are entitled to register in relation to the property and, if applicable, written consent from the majority of the property owners. 

All election information is available at the Regional District's website at www.rdno.ca/election2026

For that process, the RDNO stated there were 1,525 eligible voters.
