British Columbia's Provincial Political Map

What the map shows

This map visualizes British Columbia's provincial political landscape by dividing the province into its 93 electoral districts, commonly known as ridings, as of Sept 22, 2026, the day the Legislature was dissolved for the Oct 24, 2026 provincial election. A riding (or constituency) is a defined geographic area drawn according to population and regional boundaries, and each one is represented by a single elected official called a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). An MLA serves as the direct local representative for the residents living in their district, advocating for community issues, debating legislation, and voting on provincial policy in the Legislative Assembly. The map uses party branding colors, orange for the governing BC New Democratic Party (NDP), blue for the Conservative Party of British Columbia, green for the BC Green Party, and grey for others. A riding with a serving minister is indicated by a red dot.

Key highlights:

• Province-Wide: Out of 93 ridings, the New Democratic Party (NDP) holds 47 seats, the Conservative Party holds 36, OneBC holds 2, the Green Party holds 2, CentreBC holds 1, 3 seats are held by Independents, and 2 seats are vacant.
• Metro Vancouver: The NDP holds 29 of 46 ridings, while the Conservatives hold 12.
• City of Vancouver: The NDP holds 10 of 12 ridings, OneBC holds 1, and 1 is vacant.
• Greater Victoria: The NDP holds 7 of 8 ridings, while the Greens hold 1.

In addition to basic legislative boundaries, the map highlights which MLAs hold elevated executive roles as Ministers. A Minister (or Cabinet Minister) is an MLA appointed by the Premier to lead a specific government department, such as Education, Finance, Energy, or Health. Ministers of State support a Cabinet Minister in a specific area and are also marked. While standard MLAs focus on constituency advocacy and legislative debate, Cabinet Ministers hold direct executive authority to manage ministry budgets, direct provincial policy, and sponsor government bills.
