The city of Vancouver, along with the rest of British Columbia's municipalities, held its municipal elections on November 19, 2005.
That day voters elected one mayor, 10 councillors, nine school board trustees and seven park board commissioners. Plurality block voting was used, so each elector could vote for as many candidates as there were open seats. For example, an elector could vote for as many as ten candidates in the election of councillors.
