The votes in Vernon-Lumby and Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream were part of the more than a million early ballots cast across B.C., which was a record high turnout and represented roughly 28 per cent of all voters in the province. The previous highest turnout for advance voting in a provincial election was around 670,000.

ElectionsBC noted an atmospheric river was set to hit B.C., bringing heavy rain to the coast and parts of the Interior, as well as snow in Northern B.C., and that preparations and work with B.C.Hydro was underway to ensure polling stations could operate should power fail.
