General Local Election
The 2022 General Local Elections will be held on October 15, 2022.
The RDOS consists of nine Electoral Areas and six member municipalities. The municipalities include District of Summerland, Town of Oliver, Town of Osoyoos, City of Penticton, Town of Princeton, and the Village of Keremeos. Every four years the RDOS conducts general local elections to elect a Director to represent each of its Electoral Areas.
Each municipal Director on the Board of Directors is appointed by their respective Council from amongst their elected members.
