British Columbians are heading to the polls for a fall election on Saturday, Oct. 24, and Global News will have everything you need to make an informed decision.

This will be an election unlike any other with the COVID-19 pandemic, where advance voting and mail-in ballots are expected to play a bigger role than ever before.
