BC - Advance voting stations see big jump this year

Advance voting stations see big jump this year:

The number of British Columbians who voted on the first day of advance polling jumped 53.1% over the same day in 2005 and is approaching three times the turnout from 2001.

A total of 83,676 eligible voters came out to cast a ballot Wednesday, compared to the 54,497 who turned out the first day of advance polls in 2005. In 2001, only 31,182 people came out to vote on that day.
