"twitter:title": "Independent candidates in the Delta 2026 election" --- NO PARTY ยท Delta 2026 # Running without a party 0 candidates on the October 17 ballot have no party behind them. They are not a group, they have no shared platform, and nothing on this site treats them as one. [All parties ](https://voche.me/bc/delta-2026/parties) **0**Independent candidates **0**Races they are in WHAT IT MEANS ON THE BALLOT ## What running without a party changes A party in a British Columbia local election is called an elector organization. Only a registered one can endorse candidates, take campaign contributions as a group and spend as a group. A candidate running alone raises and files their own money, and their name appears on the ballot with no affiliation beside it. It also changes what they can do if elected. A candidate with no party arrives with no bloc, which means every vote has to be won one at a time. That is a real difference, and it cuts both ways: no bloc to rely on, and no bloc to answer to. The candidates listed below share nothing except the absence of a party label. Treating them as a group would be inventing a relationship that does not exist, so this page lists them and links to their own profiles. BY OFFICE ## The 0 independent candidates ### No invented affiliations A candidate appears here only when the official City of Delta candidate list shows no party beside their name. None of them is linked to a party page anywhere on this site. ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](/bc/delta-2026/sitemap.md) for all pages.
