It is running a full slate for Park Board, which means it is asking voters for every seat on that body. Its mayoral candidate is Ken Sim, at ballot number 54. The mayor chairs Council and holds one vote of eleven, so a mayor without councillors alongside them cannot pass anything alone. 1 OF 1 SEAT CONTESTED ## Mayor [54**Ken Sim**Ballot 54 · Mayor of Vancouver](https://voche.me/candidates/ken-sim) 9 OF 10 SEATS CONTESTED ## City Council [101**Joyce Gillespie**Ballot 101](https://voche.me/candidates/joyce-gillespie) [103**Mike Klassen**Ballot 103 · Vancouver city councillor](https://voche.me/candidates/mike-klassen) [109**Peter Meiszner**Ballot 109 · Vancouver city councillor](https://voche.me/candidates/peter-meiszner) [126**Arezo Zarrabian**Ballot 126](https://voche.me/candidates/arezo-zarrabian) [129**Lorraine Lowe (刘黛明)**Ballot 129](https://voche.me/candidates/lorraine-lowe) [135**Sarah Kirby-Yung**Ballot 135 · Vancouver city councillor](https://voche.me/candidates/sarah-kirby-yung) [137**Lisa Dominato**Ballot 137 · Vancouver city councillor](https://voche.me/candidates/lisa-dominato) [138**David Grewal**Ballot 138](https://voche.me/candidates/david-grewal) [144**Lenny Zhou (周楠)**Ballot 144 · Vancouver city councillor](https://voche.me/candidates/lenny-zhou) 7 OF 7 SEATS CONTESTED ## Park Board [207**Stephen Molnar**Ballot 207](https://voche.me/candidates/stephen-molnar) [209**Marie Rogers**Ballot 209](https://voche.me/candidates/marie-rogers) [218**Christian Kyle**Ballot 218](https://voche.me/candidates/christian-kyle) [227**Chris Qiu (仇云霞)**Ballot 227](https://voche.me/candidates/chris-qiu) [228**Jas Virdi**Ballot 228 · Vancouver Park Board commissioner](https://voche.me/candidates/jas-virdi) [232**Cheryl Grant**Ballot 232](https://voche.me/candidates/cheryl-grant) [234**Jay Bailey**Ballot 234](https://voche.me/candidates/jay-bailey) 7 OF 9 SEATS CONTESTED ## School Board [305**Alfred Chien (錢育廷)**Ballot 305 · Vancouver School Board trustee](https://voche.me/candidates/alfred-chien) [310**Shirley Sio (邵己凌)**Ballot 310](https://voche.me/candidates/shirley-sio) [311**Maria Kritikos**Ballot 311](https://voche.me/candidates/maria-kritikos) [312**Matt Kroeker**Ballot 312](https://voche.me/candidates/matt-kroeker) [316**Rob Nijjar**Ballot 316](https://voche.me/candidates/rob-nijjar) [320**Preeti Faridkot**Ballot 320 · Vancouver School Board trustee](https://voche.me/candidates/preeti-faridkot) [327**Lina Vargas**Ballot 327](https://voche.me/candidates/lina-vargas) ### How a candidate is linked to a party Only the official City of Vancouver candidate list decides which party a candidate belongs to on this site. A party's own list of candidates is not enough on its own, and a candidate running with no party is never attached to one. ## Sources A source marked SAYS SO ITSELF is the party's own material.
