RDN News Release - RDN Board Voting Formula Under Review

Regional district boards act through resolutions and bylaws, which are voted on by board directors. The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) uses a provincially legislated voting formula that determines how many directors sit on the RDN Board and how many votes each one has, based on population. With population growing across the region, the current voting formula is expected to no longer work after the 2026 Census data is applied in 2027. To prepare, the RDN is exploring new voting formula options now. Members of the public are invited to share their thoughts on the options being considered.
