B.C. votes to keep first-past-the-post electoral system

Elections BC announced the results Thursday, saying 61.3 per cent of ballots had been cast in favour of the status quo.

In the end, 42.6 per cent of eligible voters returned their ballots in time to be counted, according to Elections B.C. A simple majority would have been enough to change the voting system for provincial elections.
A total of 1.39 million ballots were cast in the election; 2,461 were rejected.
