Surveys

Surveys help us make sure the voters list is accurate and up-to-date, receive feedback from the public on the services we provide, and identify opportunities to improve our administration of electoral events.

Elections BC will conduct pre- and post-election surveys for the 2024 Provincial General Election, which will be published on this page when available.
