Voter engagement was not equal across the province — in some ridings, voters turned out in droves, while in others they barely cracked 50 per cent.

This year’s turnout, 55.4 per cent, is down from the 57 per cent who made it out to the polls in 2016.

With concerns growing over low voter engagement in the ongoing electoral reform referendum, Premier John Horgan won't set a turnout number that would make the process legitimate.

In the cities of Vancouver and New Westminster, turnout actually dropped from 2014.
