PRINCE GEORGE — In a twist on the sports cliche, they don’t ask how many, they ask how.
On Wednesday (Oct. 7), the City of Prince George says it recorded its highest number of votes cast during a singular day of advance voting. By one ballot, the city says the 1,176 votes cast on the first day of advance voting in 2026 broke the previous record set on the fourth day of advance voting in 2022.
The number recorded on Wednesday also surpassed the first day of advance voting in 2022, which saw 828 Prince George residents cast their ballots.
“The election workers are all doing a fantastic job so far and we are pleased with how things have started,” Ethan Anderson, the city’s chief election officer states. “We’ve also had a good number of people picking up mail in ballots too. We encourage people to come and vote early if you are able.
