The Conservative Electors Association, commonly known as the Conservatives, is a municipal political party in British Columbia, Canada.[3] It is not affiliated with either the provincial Conservative Party of British Columbia or the federal Conservative Party of Canada.[4]
The party was founded by political strategist David Denhoff. The party plans on fielding candidates in the 2026 British Columbia municipal elections, particularly the municipalities of Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Fort St. John, Kamloops, Kelowna, Langley City, Langley Township, Maple Ridge, Prince George, Richmond, Saanich, Surrey, Vancouver, Vanderhoof, and West Vancouver.[5][6][7]
Although he has not expressed interest in running in the 2026 Vancouver municipal election, journalist and candidate in the 2014 Vancouver municipal election Kirk LaPointe was shown in a Mainstreet Research opinion poll to be leading that city's mayoral race as a member of the Conservative Electors Association.[8] John Coupar, a former Vancouver Park Board member and Conservative Party of British Columbia candidate in the 2024 British Columbia general election for the riding of Vancouver-Little Mountain, was also leading in the poll. Another Mainstreet poll has shown the Conservatives leading the Surrey mayoral election with 25% of the vote.[9]
