VICTORIA – In a release yesterday, Elections BC updated the interim ballot package return report for the 2018 Referendum on Electoral Reform, estimating of the total number of referendum ballot packages returned.

Approximately 597,300 ballot packages have been returned so far, representing packages from 18% of registered voters. This does not include ballot packages that have been received by Canada Post and not yet transferred to Elections BC.

Before yesterday, the interim ballot package return report only included returned packages that had passed initial screening.

The overall estimate also includes packages on hand at Elections BC’s facilities waiting to be processed, as well as packages undergoing initial processing prior to screening.
