It was a solid turnout for those who cast a ballot in the Cariboo-Prince George riding during Monday’s federal election.
With all 266 polls reporting, 63,322 of the 92.834 registered voters took part in this year’s election, which saw Conservative incumbent MP Todd Doherty get elected to a fourth term in parliament.
Four years ago, just 50,980 voted in the federal election.
In Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies, 52,617 of the 88,784 eligible voters selected their candidate of choice, which turned out to be Conservative Bob Zimmer who will enjoy a fifth stint in Ottawa.
However, 14 of the 272 polls haven’t reported as of yet.
Voter turnout came in at 59.26 per cent. If that stands, it would mark the lowest turnout in the riding since 2011.
In 2021, 49,627 eligible voters participated.
