The Chilliwack North riding only had two advance voting locations, including Evergreen Hall and Rosedale Traditional School.

In the Fraser Nicola riding spanning Hope, Harrison Hot Springs, Agassiz (District of Kent), Seabird Island, Merritt and surrounding communities, 6,396 voters out of 35,043 registered voters took part in advance voting. That riding features B.C. Conservatives incumbent Tony Luck, who won the riding by 17.9 per cent over Francyne Joe of the NDP in the 2024 election.

Since the Fraser Nicola riding’s inception in 2009, three parties have won the seat, starting with the NDP and Harry Lali, followed by the Liberals’ Jackie Tegart and, most recently, the Conservatives with Tony Luck. This Saturday, Luck will be looking to retain his seat versus the NDP and Green Party.

Only 16 of the 93 ridings in the province saw more than 10,000 eligible voters cast ballots during the six-day advance voting period.
