The Canadian province of British Columbia held municipal elections on November 19, 2005.
Political parties and slates are a common feature of governance in some municipalities in the Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria areas, though the rest of the province's cities and towns resemble the majority of Canada in lacking overt partisan alliances.
The City of Vancouver, as well as its neighbour Richmond in particular, has an entrenched and polarized party system unique in the country.
Percentages are determined in relation to the total number of votes.
Sam Sullivan defeated Jim Green, and 18 other candidates, in the race for mayor.
