Nelson-Creston voter turnout 62%

Voter turnout in Nelson-Creston appears to have been a bit higher than the provincial average.

Elections BC says 17,106 of 27,338 voters cast ballots for a turnout of 62.6 per cent.

That doesn’t include absentee ballots that have yet to be counted so the final total will be a bit higher.

In Kootenay West the turnout was at least 57 per cent and in Boundary-Similkameen 64 per cent.

Province-wide the estimated turnout was 60 per cent.
