VANCOUVER — Nominations for the Nov. 19 civic election in B.C. closed on Friday.

According to CivicInfoBC, which hosts the province’s official civic election website, the full list of candidates should be posted by early next week (the week of Oct. 17). Civic elections in B.C. are run by the municipalities, which are responsible for entering the candidate names into the official website. The public can view the candidate lists at www.elections.civicinfo.bc.ca/2011/.

In Vancouver, there are 94 candidates for the 27 positions on council, the park board and the school board. On election day, voters will elect one mayor, 10 city councillors, seven park commissioners and nine school trustees for a three-year term. At the same time, there will be a referendum on the city’s capital spending plan.

Mayor Gregor Robertson’s Vision Vancouver party is running six candidates for council, the allied Committee of Progressive Electors (COPE) three and the opposition Non-Partisan Association (NPA) 10.
