Some community organizations may host All-Candidates meetings to give voters an opportunity to hear from and connect with some or all the candidates. These meetings are not organized by the City but will be listed at richmond.ca/elections when known.
Any community organizations interested in holding an All-Candidates Meeting should contact the candidates directly, and can ask the Richmond Elections Office to list their meeting online by calling 604-276-4100 or emailing elections@richmond.ca with the date, time, location, list of candidate participants and the organizer’s information.
