NanaimoNewsNOW is covering the local municipal races extensively on air and online.

Our NanaimoVotes ’22 information hub has launched containing the latest news from the campaign, profiles of the Nanaimo Mayoral candidates as lists of those running for City Councillor, RDN Director and SD68 Board Trustee.

A new survey tool will debut in early October, giving voters a much clearer look at the stance of candidates on several key issues including downtown revitalization, homelessness and social disorder, economic development and active transportation.

On election night, NanaimoNewsNOW will be live at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre with the latest vote counts and exclusive coverage as the results come in.
