Murray Rankin looks to be headed to the B.C. Legislature as part of a majority NDP government.

The Canadian Press is declaring Rankin the winner in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. CP is also projecting a majority NDP government.

Prelminary results from 89 of 95 ballot boxes reporting, give Rankin 6,660 votes, followed by Nicole Duncan of the Greens with 3,933, Liberal Roxanne Helme with 3,298 and Communist Florian Castle with 76 votes.

Black Press Media reached out to Rankin for comment, but had not received a response late Saturday night.

Supervisory elections officer Karen Garland at the Gordon Head middle school voting station was confident in calling Oct. 24 the slowest election day by far that she’s seen in three elections.

“The mail-in and advanced votes have significantly reduced today’s numbers,” Garland said. “The good thing is we have a big space, lots of room and it’s been very safe here.”

Due to the high number of British Columbians who chose to vote by mail-in ballot this year, election results won’t be finalized until after they have been counted — sometime after Nov. 6.
