Elections BC has just announced:
“All candidates have expense limits that apply during the campaign period. Each election area and office has its own limit, which is based on the office and population of the election area. These limits apply to the 2026 General Local Elections and all subsequent by-elections.”
Below are the Salmon Arm maximum limits. While all local candidates must publicly publish their donations and expenses after the election, I’ve never seen anyone locally come even close to the maximum limits set for each election but the rules are the rules. Here’s the link to limits for all BC jurisdictions https://elections.bc.ca/local-elections/candidate-expense-limits/
