BC election 2026 reader poll
Cast your pick for which party you'd vote for today, then see live results from other BC Vote Watch readers. This is an informal straw poll, not a scientific survey or an official result.
Results update as more readers vote — refresh this page to see the latest totals. Informal reader poll only; not a scientific survey or an official result.
Why party, not candidates?
Elections BC candidate nominations for the October 24, 2026 general election do not close until October 3, and the official list stays provisional until then (see candidates). Most ridings do not yet have a final slate, so this reader poll asks which party you would vote for — the same level the professional surveys on BC election polls and the roster on party leaders use.
Reader poll FAQ
What is the BC Vote Watch reader poll?
It's BC Vote Watch's informal reader poll for the 2026 BC provincial election. Visitors pick one party, then see live poll results.
Is this an official BC election poll?
No. This is an informal, unscientific reader poll of BC Vote Watch visitors. It is not conducted by Elections BC, does not use a scientific sample, and differs from the professional polls tracked on the BC election polls page.
How many times can I vote in this poll?
One vote per person. Votes are tied to your browser and IP address to discourage repeat voting; results are stored on the server so they stay consistent across visitors.
Why does the poll ask about parties instead of candidates?
Candidate nominations for the October 24, 2026 election close October 3, and the official candidate list is not final until then. Asking about party choice avoids polling on an incomplete ballot.
Can I see results from BC voters only?
Yes. Results can be filtered to "BC voters only" using approximate IP-based geolocation, alongside the all-voters total. This location detection is approximate, not verified identity, and is used only to label the two result sets — never to block a vote.
