It's slightly up, but maybe not as much as BC Election and Richmond's 19 candidates may have hoped.
Four years ago, seven per cent of registered voters in the city voted in advance of the provincial election.
Before Tuesday's election, that figure rose to nine per cent, with a total of 11,644 people casting their ballot ahead of time out of the 129,954 potential voters.
The Richmond Centre riding enjoyed the biggest rise, with a 43 per cent spike.
In 2009, the same riding suffered significantly from voter apathy, having the second lowest turnout in B.C.
