Updated after every council meeting
Chilliwack Council Votes
How each member of Chilliwack City Council voted, taken from the official adopted minutes, with every split vote checked by hand. It starts with the outgoing 2022 to 2026 council from August 2026; the council elected on October 17, 2026 is added from its first meeting. Chilliwack publishes no structured per-councillor voting data, so this is the only public record of it. Every vote links to its minutes. Nothing is inferred. Chilliwack minutes mark unanimous motions "Carried unanimously" and name the members against on split votes; because the minutes list council only as "all members", the roster comes from the City's own council page; a motion marked only "Carried" with nobody named is withheld until checked.

How this works
After each council meeting the City posts adopted minutes on the City of Chilliwack's eSCRIBE portal, usually one to two weeks later. We extract every motion, its mover and seconder, the result, and the members the minutes name as opposed, absent, recused or abstaining. Chilliwack minutes mark unanimous motions "Carried unanimously" and name the members against on split votes; because the minutes list council only as "all members", the roster comes from the City's own council page; a motion marked only "Carried" with nobody named is withheld until checked. A person checks every split vote before it is published and writes the plain-English title and topic tags. Unanimous motions are listed as recorded. A motion the minutes text does not let us read with certainty is withheld until a person has checked it, so a meeting can show fewer motions than its minutes. Found an error?
