Surrey in the 2026 campaign
Surrey's ten provincial ridings cover a large portion of Metro Vancouver's south side. The city is one of BC's largest by population, and its ridings span a range of communities from the waterfront at White Rock in the south to the urbanizing areas around Guildford and Newton further north. The Conservative Party filling all ten Surrey ridings ahead of the October 3 deadline means voters in each of those ridings now have at least one named candidate to research before election day.
Surrey contains some of BC's fastest-growing communities and is home to a large number of provincial ridings relative to other municipalities.

Nominations for all BC ridings close October 3, 2026 at 1 p.m. Pacific time. Other parties naming Surrey candidates before that deadline will appear in Elections BC's official list when it is published. Voting day is October 24, 2026. Advance voting runs October 16 to 21.
