**North Vancouver Voters Head to the Polls for Federal Byelection**
*Voters in the North Vancouver riding will cast ballots on August 31, 2026 in a federal byelection that fills a seat left vacant in June after Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson was appointed Canada’s ambassador to the European Union.*
The by‑election is the first of three federal contests scheduled for the same day across the country. Wilkinson, who had represented North Vancouver since the 2015 federal election, resigned his seat after being named ambassador to the EU, creating a vacancy that must be filled according to Canada’s parliamentary rules.
Elections Canada has confirmed that polling stations will be open on August 31, 2026, with results expected to be reported later that night. The by‑election will determine who will represent the North Vancouver riding in the House of Commons for the remainder of the current parliamentary term.
No further details on candidates or party nominations have been released by the parties at this time. Voters are encouraged to review the official list of candidates on the Elections Canada website before casting their ballots.
