Short of knocking on your front door and sticking a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient to vote. Advance polls opened Wednesday and will remain open through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters could also cast their ballots at their nearest electoral office from the call of the election right up until election day. There's an electoral office in every riding and they're open until 4 p.m.
They are everywhere, even in malls - and it's even possible to vote by mail.
In Comox, voters can stay in their cars as a drive-thru polling station will be set up at a former car dealership.
And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there's no guarantee that would increase voter participation. In Markham, Ont., where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn't increase, although it also didn't decline.
So really, there's no excuse not to vote.
