There are 137 names on the ballot in Vancouver this election. Here's the order in which they'll appear

Municipal election ballots in the City of Vancouver are notoriously long.

The city's lack of a ward system and the presence of one of Canada's only elected park board means voters sort through dozens of names when choosing their leaders every four years.

This year, there are 137 candidates vying for the four types of elected office on the ballot: 15 candidates for mayor, 59 for city council, 32 for park board and 31 for school board.

On Friday night, the city drew names randomly to assign the order they will appear on the ballot. Names are ordered randomly "to ensure an equal playing field for candidates," the city says in a statement. 

"Research has shown many voters are more likely to vote for those listed first on a ballot," the city says. "Candidates at the top of an alphabetical list are perceived to have an advantage over those lower down."

This year, to help voters keep track of the candidates, each one has also been assigned a number, which will appear beside their name on the ballot.

The full list of candidates follows, with each name displayed as it will appear on the ballot, including any party affiliation or non-English characters that will be displayed.
