Advance voting in the provincial election begins on Thursday and runs until Oct. 21.
Elections BC vote information cards to registered voters last week, and all registered voters are entitled to vote at an advance voting place if they want.
"Providing safe in-person voting opportunities has been a key focus for Elections BC," a statement issued by Elections BC said. "Since the beginning of the pandemic, Elections BC has worked with the provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, and WorkSafeBC to develop safe voting plans."
COVID-19 safety measures in place will include physical distancing, capacity limits at voting places, protective barriers, frequent cleaning of voter booths and high-touch areas, and election officials will be provided with personal protective equipment.
