They're saying final results for mail in ballots won't be counted until October 26th. We might not have a clear winner for a week!

Less than 100 votes decides this. Insanity.

Thankfully, mail-in ballots skew slightly left, so there's little chance of a Con victory upset. No idea how many mail-in ballots are cast in BC, but the NDP eking out 1 more seat isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Edit: Am I right that the last "polling station" to report in most ridings is the mail-in ballots?

That's true, NDP will likely eke out the win here, but a Con win is entirely possible with how close these ridings are.

They do skew left, but that could manifest as something like 35% NDP, 20% Green, 45% Conservative.
