The 2026 Richmond, BC mayoral election is currently scheduled to be held on October 17, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who becomes the next mayor of Richmond as a result of this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder mayors appointed before the election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting; however, if there is any ambiguity in the results, this market will resolve according to official information from Richmond.Richmond BC's October 17, 2026 mayoral contest remains tightly contested among several declared candidates, with trader odds reflecting a fragmented field and substantial undecided voters. Recent polling showed Kash Heed ahead but with nearly half the electorate uncommitted, while a mid-August debate among Heed, Alexa Loo, Sheldon Starrett, and Henry Yao highlighted differences on infrastructure priorities such as dike upgrades, flooding protection, tax levels, and municipal support for the Richmond Night Market. Vote-splitting across slates and independents, combined with the open seat after long-serving Mayor Malcolm Brodie's retirement, sustains the close positioning. Further candidate forums, endorsements, or shifts in local issues like public safety and services could consolidate support ahead of election day.
