Candidate nominations for the B.C. snap election in 2020 has officially closed as of 1 p.m. on Friday, October 2.
Nearly 500,000 British Columbians have received mail-in ballots so far—compared to just 6,500 mail-in ballots requested during the entirety of the 2017 provincial elections—which means more and more British Columbians are figuring out how to vote by mail.

Over the past two weeks, candidate nomination announcements have been trickling in from all three parties. But as of today, we have compiled a full list of who is running for the election from each of the three main parties in every riding across B.C.
Both the BC NDP and BC Liberal parties are running with a full slate of 87 candidates for all 87 ridings in the province. Sonia Furstenau’s BC Green Party is running just short of a full slate, with 74 candidates running.
Voters casting their ballots by mail are asked to enter the name of the candidate or the political party they wish to vote for and the riding they live in—remember to not enter the name of the party leader, as that could render your ballot unusable—and mail it in by 8 p.m. Pacific time on October 24.
