Every COPE candidate
12 candidates on the October 17, 2026 ballot, in ballot order. Each one links to a full profile with their own background, priorities and sources.
THE SHAPE OF THIS SLATE
What COPE is asking for
COPE is running 12 candidates across 3 of the four races on the ballot: 4 for City Council, 4 for Park Board, 4 for School Board.
Its Park Board slate of 4 is large enough to take a majority if every one of those candidates won.
COPE is not running a candidate for mayor, so it is contesting City Council and Park Board and School Board only. A party can hold seats on any of those bodies without contesting the mayoralty, and two parties on this ballot are doing exactly that.

COPE is not running for Mayor
No COPE candidate appears on the official City of Vancouver candidate list for this race. A blank here records that, and nothing more.
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.
