2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution

An electoral redistribution in British Columbia is underway by the BC Electoral Boundaries Commission. On October 21, 2021, the Government of British Columbia appointed Justice Nitya Iyer, Linda Tynan and Chief Electoral Officer Anton Boegman to serve as the 2021 commissioners. Justice Iyer was appointed the chair.

The commission is required to complete redistricting every two election cycles. The final number of provincial electoral districts, and thus seats in the next legislature, will not be known until redistricting has occurred. The commission is required to complete its preliminary report by October 21, 2022, and its final report six months later.

In May 2021, the government introduced legislation that removed a requirement that no reduction of seats could be considered for certain rural regions. Attorney General David Eby said the changes were necessary to ensure the commission was independent and had the flexibility to recommend boundaries that provide effective representation. The legislation also permits the legislature to grow to up to 93 seats.

In February 2022, the commission opened public consultations for the redistribution. Public hearings were scheduled and public submissions were open until May 31, 2022. Following the release of its initial report in October 2022, further consultations occurred. Its final report was released in April 2023.
