1The 2017 Vancouver municipal by-election took place on October 14, 2017. Unlike previous elections, voters only elected one councillor and nine school board trustees. This election marked the first time a OneCity candidate was elected to any position in Vancouver's elected government.
The by-election was called to replace the single vacant council seat, due to Geoff Meggs' departure to take on the role of Premier John Horgan's chief of staff. The by-election was also meant to elect a new board of School Trustees, who had been dismissed by Mike Bernier after failing to pass a balanced budget and allegations of workplace harassment arose.
(I) denotes incumbents prior to the dismissal of all nine School Trustees by Education Minister Mike Bernier in October 2016.
