It鈥檚 Election Day in B.C. and some voters in 麻豆AV are saying it has been a good experience so far.
Some said they felt safe as Elections B.C. staff are limiting the number of voters coming into polling stations, and others commended staff for keeping everything clean and sanitized.
One 麻豆AV-West voter said the biggest difference this election day was the fact there weren鈥檛 very many people in polling stations.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no lineups. It鈥檚 really nice. There鈥檚 no one here,鈥� she said.

Another voter said she expected the smaller in-person voter turnout.
鈥淚 expected it to be calmer because with COVID, (people) would be sending their ballots in through advanced polls (instead).鈥�
Elections BC communications director Andrew Watson told Black Press Media that 鈥渟afe voting has been the focus鈥� during this snap election.
鈥淰oters can feel confident in the process we鈥檝e put in place,鈥� he said.
He added that because of advanced voting and mail-in ballots, fewer British Columbiansare voting on Election Day, resulting in no long lines or other issues reported at polling stations.
Polls are open until 8 p.m. today, Oct. 24 for in-person voting. Those with mail-in ballots can still cast their vote by dropping off their voting package at a polling station.
