As for comparisons to advance polls in past votes Elections BC spokesperson Don Main said “These are very similar, just slightly off from both the Vancouver Point Grey by-election that was done in 2011 and from the 2009 general election. There is literally within points of a percentage point difference. So the turn out looks to be fairly similar.”
