The city of Vancouver, Canada, held municipal elections on November 17, 1990. Canadian citizens who were over 18 years of age at the time of the vote, and had been a resident of Vancouver for the previous 30 days and a resident of B.C. for the previous six months, were able to vote for candidates in four races that were presented on one ballot. In addition, Canadian citizen non-resident property owners were eligible to vote. For the first time, the City used Provincial Voters List as basis for City's List of Electors. 133,107 out of 257,352 voters cast ballots for a turnout of 52%.[1]
Mayor Gordon Campbell, of the Non-Partisan Association (NPA) was elected for a third term.[2] However, NPA's representation on council was reduced, tying with the Coalition of Progressive Electors for five seats each.[3] NPA later regained control of council through a byelection in 1992. This was Campbell's final term as mayor, before entering provincial politics as leader of the British Columbia Liberal Party in 1993.
The following candidates were elected for a three-year term:
A number of referendum was included on the ballot. Vancouver voters approved new funds for a new main library, parks and recreation facilities and public works, but rejected an initiative seeking $500,000 to build a new otter habitat at the Stanley Park zoo.[4]
