Victoria (British Columbia electoral district)
Encyclopedia
Victoria was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia
, and was one of the first twelve ridings at the time of that province's joining Confederation in 1871 and stayed on the hustings until 1890. From 1894 to 1963 it did not appear on the electoral map. During that period the Victoria area was represented by North Victoria
, South Victoria
, Saanich
, Esquimalt
, Oak Bay
and Victoria City
. In 1966 the old Victoria City
riding was redistributed and given the name of the old "rural" riding, Victoria.

This byelection was one of a series held to confirm appointments to the Executive Council, which was the old parliamentary convention.

The stated date is the date the return of writs was received by the Chief Electoral Officer.
