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.The open mayoral contest in Richmond, BC, scheduled for October 17, 2026, features a crowded field after long-serving Mayor Malcolm Brodie opted not to run. Sitting councillors Kash Heed and Alexa Loo lead early polling and market pricing, joined by Henry Yao, Rob Howard, Sheldon Starrett, Mei Kang, and Dickens Cheung, each backed by distinct slates or independent platforms focused on housing, public safety, infrastructure, and local economic issues. Recent June polling showed Heed at 20 percent with over 48 percent undecided, while August candidate debates highlighted divisions on topics such as supportive housing extensions and preserving the Richmond Night Market. The fragmented vote, absence of an incumbent, and limited name recognition among many contenders sustain tight implied probabilities across leading options, with separation likely to emerge from late endorsements, additional polling, or clearer differentiation on municipal priorities during the formal campaign period beginning in September.
