8 ridings across British Columbia to watch on election night [Video]

Voters in B.C.’s 43 federal electoral ridings will soon find out who their next Members of Parliament are. Municipal affairs reporter Justin McElroy breaks down the five ridings especially worth watching on election night.

Seemingly every federal election, there’s a thought that the late night counting of votes in British Columbia will determine which party will form government.  

And seemingly every federal election, it doesn’t happen.

Polls close at 7 p.m. PT in B.C. Monday, a half hour after everywhere from Alberta to Quebec. That means that by the time a substantial number of ballots are counted in B.C., a government might already be called — or it could be the focus of the entire country into the early hours of the morning. 

There are 43 electoral districts across British Columbia, and they all matter — but based on this election’s candidates, past history and current polling, here are eight that are likely to get a little more attention on Monday night.
