Media Advisory: Estimated Number of Vote-by-Mail Package Requests Available

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 24, 2020

VICTORIA – The estimated number of vote-by-mail package requests received by Elections BC for the 2020 Provincial General Election is now available on the Elections BC website.

Link: https://elections.bc.ca/provincial-elections/election-resources/vote-by-mail-packages-requested/

This estimate will be updated daily (Monday to Friday). Note that this estimate does not represent the number of vote-by-mail packages issued to date, or the number of mail-in ballots that will be considered for counting. This is because voters may not return their vote-by-mail package by the deadline, and all vote-by-mail packages must be screened before being accepted for counting.
