The writ has dropped and BC's provincial election is fully underway!

For students living in Vancouver or on-campus but are originally from other regions of BC, you can vote in either your hometown's riding or in your campus/living residence's riding.

For students who are from outside of BC (but still from Canada), as long as you've been a resident of BC for more than 6 months, you can vote!

And because I've seen some confusion about this, although the age of majority in BC is 19, the voting age is 18 for all elections (municipal, provincial, federal).

For those of you voting in Vancouver-Point Grey (which includes UBC, Point Grey, and most of Kitsilano), here’s where we can vote on/near campus:

Early voting:

The Nest (Oct 15-16)

University Golf Club (Oct 10-13, 15-16)

Voting Day (Oct 19):

The Nest

UHill Secondary School

To register to vote go to: https://eregister.electionsbc.gov.bc.ca/ovr/welcome.aspx#
