Communications Manager Andrew Watson says there are a couple of times you should avoid.
“Usually it’s steady throughout the day but the morning and the evenings tend to be a bit busier than the rest of the day.”
While it’s encouraged to vote at your assigned polling station, it’s far from mandatory according to Watson.
“It’s usually a bit faster and easier to vote at your assigned voting place but if another voting place is more convenient for you can vote there too. So you’ll need ID that proves your identity and residential address and it does help to bring a Where to Vote card if you have one please bring it. Voters do have an assigned voting place within their district.”
Over 614,000 people in the province submitted an early ballot during advanced polling.
Several cities in BC are offering free transit during Election Day.
