With key ridings and real issues at stake, Surrey could tip the balance in Canada’s next election. Here’s what local voters need to know in 2025.
Surrey’s Vote Could Swing the Election
With federal and provincial elections on the horizon, Surrey is under the national spotlight. As one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, home to over 600,000 people, Surrey’s political importance has surged. Many of its ridings are swing seats—meaning no party has a guaranteed win. That makes every vote crucial.
Local Issues Are Driving Voter Concerns
Surrey residents are not just thinking nationally—they’re thinking locally. Top concerns include skyrocketing housing costs, long wait times at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the controversial RCMP-to-SPS police transition, and growing frustration over transit delays. These everyday issues are shaping voter priorities and forcing candidates to focus their campaigns directly on Surrey’s needs.
Parties Focus on Surrey’s Diverse Electorate
With no single party dominating in recent elections, leaders from across the political spectrum are prioritizing Surrey. Expect to see more campaign visits, riding-level promises, and tailored outreach—especially around healthcare, infrastructure, and jobs. Campaigns are speaking in Surrey’s languages, addressing its unique challenges, and showing up in its neighbourhoods.
Voters Have the Power in 2025
Surrey voters will be key in shaping the next government. That means now is the time to prepare: confirm your registration, know your riding, attend local debates, and talk to your community. Whether by mail, in advance, or on election day, your vote matters. In fact, it might just be the one that decides the outcome.
