Eby Faces Voters in B.C. Snap Election After Conservative Leadership Shakeup
More than 891,000 advance ballots were cast as parties battled over health care, housing and the province’s deficit in a five-week campaign.
- British Columbians head to the polls today, October 24, 2026, to elect their next provincial government in a snap election called by NDP Leader David Eby.
- Premier Eby called this snap election on September 22 after citing frustration with a "stalled out" legislature where the NDP held only a one-seat majority.
- Days before the election call, Interim Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson replaced Kerry-Lynne Findlay, reshaping the opposition and unifying the party after months of internal division.
- More than 891,000 voters cast ballots during advance polling, representing about 24 per cent of registered voters across the five-week campaign focused on affordability and health care.
- Final election results may remain uncertain for weeks; Elections BC will not count mail-in and absentee ballots until roughly two weeks after today's vote.
