With the B.C. election fast approaching, many voters are familiarizing themselves with their local candidates and their respective positions.

Some voters are also preparing to cast their ballot in brand-new ridings, after the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended increasing the number of districts across the province from 87 to 93. 

Several ridings were also renamed during the process, and the boundaries were adjusted for dozens of others.

Below is a list of all 323 candidates running in each of those ridings – including 14 candidates representing lesser-known parties such as the Freedom Party, Libertarian Party, Communist Party and Christian Heritage Party.

The B.C. NDP and B.C. Conservatives are each running a candidate in all 93 ridings, while the B.C. Greens are running candidates in 69 ridings.

There are also 40 people running as Independent or Unaffiliated candidates this year, some of whom were orphaned by the unexpected withdrawal of B.C. United from the race.
