A Provincial General Election will take place in British
Columbia on Saturday, October 24, 2020 ("General
Voting Day").
The B.C. Election Act imposes certain
obligations on employers to ensure that their employees have
sufficient time free from work to exercise their right to vote.
As a service to our clients and other interested parties, we
are publishing this bulletin to help employers understand the scope
of these obligations.
Who can vote in the Provincial General Election?
All Canadian citizens who are at least 18 years old on General
Voting Day and have lived in B.C. for six months are eligible to
vote in the Provincial General Election.
