With five months to go before British Columbians cast their ballots in the provincial election, our collective concerns remain clear. Housing, poverty and homelessness is still the most important issue for residents . Health care is second at 21 per cent , followed by the economy and jobs , the environment and crime and public safety .
The provincial race has become tighter among voters aged 18 to 34, with the New Democrats just five points ahead of the BC Conservatives . Half of voters aged 55 and over say they’re thinking of supporting the BC NDP in their riding, with the BC Conservatives and BC United further back . As the parties continue to announce who will represent them in each riding, fewer than half of British Columbians support the notion of establishing quotas to increase the number of female candidates and candidates from visible minorities . Majorities say they believe it should be mandatory for candidates to attend at least one public debate in their constituency and that all political parties should compel candidates to step down if they say something offensive on social media .
