Here is the world's fastest Pundits' Guide, assembled for easy navigation of provincial election results 1991-2017.

Note that relationships between the 1991 and 2000 redistribution ridings is not currently available; and in any event, the percentages shown for the relationships between the 2000 and 2008 redistribution ridings is currently based on the percentage of the number of "voting areas" (aka polling divisions), rather than on population or area, as would be preferable. I haven't attempted that analysis for the 2015 redistribution ridings at all yet, either.

The 2013 Transposition of 2013 general election results onto 2015 redistribution boundaries was kindly provided by Kyle Hutton (he has transposed Electors, Valid Ballots, and party results for us). Thank you Kyle!

Poll-by-poll result data, and corresponding mapping info has not been added as yet, nor am I blogging here either.

As this was adapted from a similar low-key version of the Pundits' Guide for New Brunswick, some errors may be found which didn't get caught in the conversion. Please notify me of any errors (or any Candidate Genders I'm missing) by email at alice@punditsguide.ca.

Circulation of this link is being circulated to my friends for now, until time permits a more robust site to be assembled. But, for now, here's the familiar Party Scorecard for the six most recent BC general elections. Enjoy!

NOTE on Turnout figures: BC calculates turnout as the percent of eligible voters who cast a ballot. But I have only located registered voter counts for each riding, which are summed to generate the turnout denominator used here. For more information, see the Elections BC publication here (opens PDF).
