Results coming soon in B.C.’s 2026 snap election. Live updates here.
Black Press Media projects a Conservative majority as the party leads in 63 of 93 ridings with 49% of the vote.
- On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, voters across British Columbia cast ballots in the snap provincial election called one month ago by NDP Leader David Eby to determine the province's next government.
- Eby initiated the snap election on Sept. 22, 2026, to end frustrations of a "stalled out" legislature where the NDP held a one-seat majority while facing a resurgent Conservative Party of B.C.
- Elections BC is hand-counting ballots cast on Saturday due to the snap election's logistical constraints, while advance votes were tabulated electronically; nearly 900,000 voters, or 24 per cent of registered voters, cast ballots in advance polls.
- Early results showed the Conservatives leading in 63 of 93 ridings for 49 per cent of the vote as of 9 p.m., with gains reported in battleground areas across the province.
- Reaching a 47-seat majority in the 93-seat legislature remains the path to power, with Surrey—where Conservatives held six of 10 ridings—emerging as pivotal to the final outcome.
