2 new councillors elected in chaotic Vancouver byelection

On Saturday, April 5, 2025, voters elected Sean Orr and Lucy Maloney as new city councillors in Vancouver's by-election.
The by-election occurred because Christine Boyle and Adriane Carr had left their City Council seats vacant.
Almost 70,000 voters showed up, but long lines and fewer polling stations than usual caused delays and frustration.
The City told Daily Hive Urbanized that the by-election had 'significantly higher voter turnout comparatively'.
The election results maintained the council's balance, but signaled potential voter dissatisfaction with Mayor Sim's ABC party.
