Mail-in ballots could sway final count in close BC election

Elections BC is counting more than 66,000 mail-in ballots today, which could determine whether the BC Conservatives or the NDP form the next government.

Neither party won enough seats in last weekend’s election for a majority, although the NDP hold 46 seats compared to the Conservatives 45. The Green Party won two seats and although leader Sonia Furstenau lost her seat, she remains as leader and said this week she will not consider working with the Conservatives.

Elections BC will be counting the mail-in ballots today, they are expected to be completed by late Sunday.
