The vote will be held Saturday, April 30, and is to replace Andrew Wilkinson, who resigned from the legislature on Feb. 17.

Elections B.C. says in a news release that this will be the first byelection in the province since changes to the Election Act came into force last month, which it says will make voting easier and will allow the agency to report election night results faster. Wilkinson won the riding in 2020 with 56.04 per cent of the vote, but his party lost 13 seats in the election that saw Horgan's New Democrats re-elected with a majority, winning 58 seats to 28 for the Liberals and two Greens.
