VICTORIA — Requests for mail-in ballots continue to pour into Elections B.C.

The agency reports as of Sunday night (Sept. 27) at 11:59 p.m., 406,000 British Columbians had requested a mail-in vote.

Anyone can request to vote by mail, but you have to contact Elections B.C.

The agency said last week, they expected up to 40 per cent of all ballots will be cast by mail due to COVID which could delay the official election result.

Many residents are viewing it as a safer option to voting at polling stations for the Oct. 24 election.
